Spotify, Netflix, Fastmail, a VPN (Pure I think at the moment), I think that's about it.

Aside from the VPS and object storage for housing Leminal Space, just Proton Mail. And The Anfield Wrap if we're counting podcasts.

I think that’s it. I would subscribe to Port87, but I made it, so I don’t need to.
I understand that that’s a lot of subscriptions. I used to have a lot more, and I’ve been slowly unsubscribing.
I’ve almost replaced ProtonMail with Port87, so that will be the next to go. I like ProtonMail, but I only subscribed so that I could do the things Port87 does automatically. I’ll still subscribe to Proton VPN though. I need that for… Linux ISOs.
I’ve also almost replaced Google Photos with Immich, so that will go soon too.
I’m thinking about replacing Apple Music with a self hosted option.
I also am finding ChatGPT less and less useful as open source LLMs get closer in quality.

That's about it. I don't use ChatGPT often enough to sub. I sometimes subscribe to Canva Pro if I have a project ongoing.
Pcloud, NordVPN, Tidal, reMarkable sync
I'd use Obsidian Sync too if I used Obsidian across devices. I just back my vaults up in the cloud.
Only a 3.50€ VPS on OVH. Gets the job done. For music I just use firehawk52’s Deezer ARLs to download the music. For TV shows/movies the obvious is piracy. The whole subscription model drives me away from services.
spotify, NextDNS, 1password, lifetime pcloud, Microsoft 365 on annual sales, notesnook. I guess I donate to my mastodon/Lemmy instance and immich development.
Just a VPS. £4/month.
Bitwarden
Proton Family
Spotify Family
Nintendo online
1 small Contabo VPS to host rocket chat
1 larger Contabo VPS for my main Nextcloud and Immich instances
Mullvad and Tuta are the only services I pay for monthly
- Bitwarden
- Addy.io
- Backblaze B2 (technically not a subscription)
- Managed Nextcloud (Hetzner)
- Webhosting (Hetzner)
I'm a student and I don't work that much so I try to keep the costs down. I considered selfhosting Nextcloud but it doesn't seem worth it for now.
How do I webhost with Hetzner? I want to get into server hosting and Hetzner is a small business with a good price, but the learning curve is so steep.

Surfshark VPN and YouTube premium. Recently cancelled Netflix and Amazon prime. Not much but I've had enough of subscriptions.
I give some bucks to disroot for email and cloud services and I donate monthly to a local server that hosts a mastodon instance and some other goodies. I occasionally donate to some software projects
My partner subscribes to media services which I use too, like max, Spotify and others.
