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?

      I watch a lot of YouTube videos and hate ads. It’s a pretty good value.

      I do also have Spotify, because I had it way before YouTube Premium and all my playlists are there. For how much I listen and discover, also a pretty good value.

      I like having no commercials on something by legitimate means, and unlike most streaming services, the content stays there once it’s there. For the hours we use it, it’s still a hell of a deal.

      I adblock and sail the seas, but Premium gives what it promises without any real hassle. We use it way more than we used Netflix or Disney+.

      Same, I have the Family tier and it just makes sense. At 23/month if all 5 slots are filled it works out too $4.60/month/person.

      No ads AND no hassle with this and that instance going down or that app being blocked or browser shannigans

      Same here. I’m mostly paying because at least some of the money goes to creators, and I don’t want to have to constantly be fighting with the adblocker stuff. I watch a lot of youtube (perhaps more than is healthy) and realistically it does cost Google money to host it.

      This is mine too. I use the hell out of it and YouTube music that comes with it. If we look at $/hr, then this is a no-brainer for me.

      Same here. I use YouTube a lot so it’s nice to have no ads, and the inclusion of YouTube Music is great and I’ve switched from Spotify because of it.
