Wow and here I thought I've spent too much on subscriptions!

Plex lifetime pass (through Turkey)
Whatever close to 100% cashback VPN provider, currently with PIA
Seedbox, paid annually
Prime for shipping occasionally, I can find the torrent for the shows elsewhere so rarely use it to watch anything

I don't use Youtube often, so NewPipe on mobile and uBlock Origin on browsers are sufficient so far. XManager for Spotify as well.

May consider paying for Tidal (through Turkey), but don't really see the need at the moment.

Why do people pay for common streaming subscriptions when they can just pirate?
