What are your thoughts on subscriptions? Which ones do you have?

[Danny_dan92]

I only have Amazon prime because I have protein powder, creatine and household cleaning products



And youtube premium because honestly youtube ads can suck it.

[bannacookies]

I tried the free trial with Amazon prime. But when I learned that you can get lots of movies for free on Amazon Prime without paying, I said screw Amazon prime! I'm getting the freebies! 😂I don't buy too much from Amazon anyway and they offer me free Prime trial every 6 months it seems like. So I buy a whole bunch of stuff at once. I'm trying to think really hard, and I don't think I have any paid subscriptions. All of my TV services are free because I'm a cheapskate. Lol! Also I have a very nice friend who lets me share her Paramount.😄

I honestly hate that our world is turning into subscriptions. It’s a way to eat away at the populations money because after having so many subscriptions, you start to lose track of things you aren’t using as much. And sometimes they make it so hard to cancel subscriptions.

[kylee2437]

And don’t even get me started with the companies that tax on subscriptions for the most basic services they provide.

[Danny_dan92]

Facts. And it blows my mind that all these companies really think they all can co exist using the same business model..

Like who tf has all this money to say have every single subscription service under the sun. It’s wild

[kylee2437]

@Danny_dan92 it’s just ass because they know very few people that subscribe to it, still makes more money than none, so they keep bare minimum features as “reserved” to those few people.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah, and they make canceling an absolute pain in the ass.

“Are you suree?” Like yes mother fucker. I did click I want to cancel like 3 times.

[kylee2437]

I think the worst one I’ve ever seen is Yahoos. In order to get into your account if you don’t have any access to get in is by subscribing and paying. I argued on the phone with an Indian guy for 20 mins that I will not be paying for account that I have had for years and have important things attached to. Thank god I found a loop hole and basically told the Indian guy “I found a loop hole so fuck you”

[Danny_dan92]

It’s always an indian person… 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m typically nice but the second they begin to give me a difficult time… and the insults start. “Shove curry up your ass”

[kylee2437]

I’m nice but I’ve learned that the more assertive you are, the more willing they are to give into what they are trying to sell. I had a magazine company try to bamboozle me and argued with them until they gave me my money back. If you have to scam people for sales, you don’t deserve that money.

[Danny_dan92]

Oh I hate scam callers. Lmao ever since I paid my phone off, AT&T sold my number to all these damn telemarketers because I haven’t upgraded my phone in 4 years.

Now I get multiple spam texts and calls every single day. It’s annoying

[RebelinSteel]

I have a bunch of them, it’s easier for me and works, where possible if they offer a yearly price then I do that.

i have Amazon Prime, great for one day delivery, also subs list for stuff like cat litter, crap for tv stuff

Apply Music, keeps me going with music etc

Disney, Netflix.

[LiamJHayden]

Amazon Prime because I order more than enough to make the free shipping worth it, plus I get all the free programming.

Youtube is starting to change their ads to embedded as part of the video because a lot of us use Brave or other browsers or extensions that block the ads.

[DishLady]

I think everyone has at least tried Amazon since the pandemic… and either Netflix or Hulu or one of those….

[Danny_dan92]

I had Netflix a long time ago but they suck ass. They got rid of so many shows I liked watching.

[sawno]

I prefer to own things so I dislike subscriptions, the ones I do have are to independent people as well as hosting services.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah same

[exitseven]

I used to have subscriptions to Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Hot Rod, Hi Fi and Stereo review, PC Magazine, Computer Shopper and TV Guide. I do not have subscriptions to anything.

[KittygosMeoWW]

I got a little out of control last year and had like 15-20 subscriptions lol but rn it’s only 5. I hate subscriptions and especially when I hardly use them and forget to cancel them.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah, apple is sneaky when it comes to this bs because they get a cut of every single transaction done on their store entirely. So they intentionally hide subscriptions inside a Russian doll style menu hoping nobody would find it.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yesss! Also what is this new bullshit of having to pay shit I didn’t even want before I can download other apps. I didn’t want a $70 yearly spicy book subscription and I can’t turn my card on or off to download any other free book apps.

[Phoenix98]

I don't really do subscriptions there's nothing I really need so badly that I need to pay a monthly fee to get it.

[Sasquach]

Atm I got spotify, netflix, a couple unnamed SaaS relating to finance and an audio book subscription

I'd rather pay for a subscription than deal with forced ads and incessant micro transactions

[RavVid]

Youtube premium and google storage. There s a reason why IT turned to a subscription model.

[Agape93]

Eh. I have a fallout 76 and Amazon prime one

[Danny_dan92]

You play 76?

[Agape93]

When I can get good signal, yeah. Played a few fasnacht yesterday morning

[Agape93]

Otherwise I'm playing the forest or resident evil

[Danny_dan92]

Resident evil 4 👌🏼

[Agape93]

Pretty good. Still wish I could shoot that annoying twat

[Danny_dan92]

Which one?

[Agape93]

Ashley. I despise Salazar little bitch ass, but I'd rather listen to him talk than listen to LEOOON!!!

[Danny_dan92]

Have you played the remake?

[Agape93]

Nope

[Danny_dan92]

Your prayers would be answered

[Agape93]

YES!

[Danny_dan92]

Ashley is not a whiny one in it. I recommend it

[kellytheman]

Yeah I mostly have YouTube premium subscription and Disney+ for movies and TV shows I like.

[Lokiion]

You can just get youtube premium for free an anyways I only got amazon prime

[RedInnocent69]

Don’t have any for products, but lot for services I regularly use.

[ggrurrllz]

You want everything for free?

[Dongie]

None.
