I'm usually against subscription services, but there are a few I use that I think provide enough value to justify the cost. Are there subscriptions you think are worth the money for you?

Real-Debrid. No more paying for compressed streaming services!

Deezer. Last year I listened to 770hrs of music. The majourity of that using the suggestion algorithm. I couldn't buy that many albums and I certainly couldn't name the all the albums I've pulled songs from.

At home I'm an album person. But, in the distractions of everyday life keep blasting singles at me and I'll wait for something to catch my ear.

Also, Deez nutz jokes are so easy.

Logseq sync, need it for work, and its only £3.74 (5 cows for the Americans). Tried proton VPN plus as well, too expensive for me being £8.38, but its fine because their free tier is generous and I can do video calls with plus aswell. Food is also a good subscription, you can find food shops everywhere with great variety, but the price of the overall spend is higher, but if you buy high volume low cost food you can combat this price increase; some people like to spend extra and add alcohol to their subscription, but i don't see the appeal unless its liquor shots like Apple sour or Baileys, because they taste good.

NextCloud hosting, since I don't trust myself to do it safely.
BitWarden, 50/50 for the value and to support them.
Tuta.io, for the custom domain and extra storage.
Addy.io (or SimpleLogin)

Nebula, if the LG app was available where I live/on my TV (yeah, the household wants to use a spytv).

Proton Unlimited, Mullvad VPN and Kagi are all great. Standard Notes is a great app, too.

Because the VPN is included with Proton Unlimited

Crunchyroll. Largest catalog I’ve seen and I don’t have to sail the seas for everything. Also enjoy all the dubs.

I've been using Trade coffee for the last 2 years or so. The subscription basically amounts to free shipping.

The selection is good, and I get something new every time I order without having to go to multiple websites to see who has what in stock that I'd like.

I don't think their recommendations are that great, but the filter options make it easy to find something I am interested in.

I subscribe to two podcast networks on patreon. I could listen for free, but I feel it's worth paying for the several hours a month of entertainment I get from them.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago
  • ComEd, electricity
  • Verizon, phone
  • Spectrum, Internet - not cable because I refuse to watch commercials.

Yes these are technically subscription services.

  • Pandora because _fuck ads and commercials - I never listen to the radio anymore.

The rest of my subscriptions are hit-or-miss. Disney+ because my fiancee likes keeping it I guess technically qualifies.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

Udio. There aren't yet any locally-runnable music generation tools like it, and even if they were they'd have to be pretty darned good to rival Udio's quality. I make a lot of use of it for tabletop roleplaying games, but also "just for fun." It's only $10 a month.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Uber Meats. Nothing but gabagool on demand.

But seriously, a VPN.

[–] 7355608@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

$50 a year to Starcraft Broodwar Patreon that casts Korean language games into English.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Inkarnate. It's a tool for making fantasy maps for those who haven't heard of it. I think they have an extremely reasonable price per year for it.

[–] tlou3please@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Disney+

I'm learning a language as a hobby and Disney+ BY FAR is the most consistent in having dubs and subs available in a variety of languages. I haven't actually watched anything that didn't have it (for the language I'm learning). Whereas most things on other streaming sites don't tend to have it at all unless it's a foreign film and that's the original language.

For me, it's easily worth the money just for that
