Personally I’m only paying for Spotify (while working away in the background to build my own collection) and Kayo, which is an Australian sports service. There is a little bit of fragmentation for sport in Australia but I’ve been lucky with Kayo as they’ve picked up stuff I was paying for elsewhere and it’s become better value over the time I’ve been subscribed.

Netflix is the only major one I’ve ever really paid for and their password gimmick was the straw that broke that for me.

Bandcamp. People don't really consider it a streaming service but I've used it a ton to stream my music purchases from their website & Android app. (also have all the music downloaded on my main storage at home)

I shift it around depending on what's currently "in season." Right now I have Netflix because of the 3rd season of I Think You Should Leave. But I've watched it all a billion times already so I'm not going to renew until something else comes out.

I've tended not to directly pay for services, but password share with family where we each pay for a service. So I've had Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Amazon but only was paying for Netflix (obviously Netflix killed this). I also pay for Spotify, and have the unlimited regal pass (I live a few minutes from our local theater and go pretty often)

So given this, I feel zero remorse for pirating and data hoarding as much media as the internet can give me, as I feel like I'm already paying quite a bit for media.

Amazon prime and Spotify.

Our friend was sharing Netflix with us but once the stuff with the household came around he cancelled his account. Now him and I both have Synology NAS and Plex set up to share all our downloaded stuff with friends and family. Oh yeah and another friend shares Disney+ with us. I also paid for a cheap year of Shudder last October so I still have that. I also got cheap YouTube premium using a vpn.

I dont exactly pay for a "streaming" service. I do pay for RD and Mega (part of the forum). This has me covered for practically anything I could ever need.

[-] pattmayne@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

Netflix through T-Mobile, Real-Debrid (plex), and Amazon Prime.

Only thing I actually use though is Real-Debrid. Got Plex truly automated so I just use that for everything including music.

Spotify and MUBI only

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I pay for Netflix, but only the ad-supported tier now. My wife uses it to discover new shows, then I download copies of it for my Plex media library.

[-] Rdenno@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Real Debrid

[-] webuge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.

[-] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

None, I used to pay for Plex Pass but with the last removed I bought the life pass

[-] LostCause@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Spotify, only because they still got everything I need and I don‘t want to bother with building my own music library. If they enshittify the service enough, I‘ll ditch that too though.

[-] sillieidiot@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Spotify, yttv during football season, premiumize and syncler for everything else

[-] Hinmar@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Spotify and Amazon prime, prime is not only for streaming ofcourse

[-] xeekei@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Spotify and Netflix. Since they are so far the only platforms that stick to streaming media and are not trying to take over the world. I guess HBO would be fine too.

[-] 5in1k@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Spotify with free Hulu, Prime, Criterion Collection

[-] factionparadoxes@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Only Apple Music, and only because it's ever so slightly more convenient for me than not paying for it. Plus, I enjoy discovering new music while I'm out on a long walk.

[-] WorseDoughnut@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

HBO Max comes with my ISP's fiber plan, and I like that they get 4K releases relatively quick out of theater from certain studios. If they ever fuck with the pricing or bundle I'm on though, I'm outta there.
