I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average Lemmer/Lemming (what do we call ourselves?) has?

          I have both. I really dislike the navigation in Jellyfin. It seems impossible to elegantly move between various collections compared to Plex, which just seems to fit my brain better.

          That said, my daily driver is actually Infuse, which points at the Jellyfin server because:

          1. Infuse has the most reliable playback and never needs transcoding (Synology server, AppleTV client)
          2. Infuse will purge its cache and have to rebuild/refetch all the metadata for my library. Pointing it at a Jellyfin server allows all that info to persist including custom posters etc.

    One. It’s all you really need. Watch what you want on it for a month. Then cancel and sign up for another. Repeat.

    As others have pointed out, you can get a lot of services for free, even if just for a while. Cell phone plans, Target Circle, Best Buy, and other places frequently send out freebie codes or include services with membership.

    I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It’s not so much the expense. It’s the principle.

    It was zero for a long time, but now it’s one: Nebula. It’s $2.50/Mo and run by many large YT creators and comes with no ads or sponsorships. I wanted to support creators and was getting really tired of YT’s greed.

    None, and every time my coworkers talk about how many they have it seems insane. One has fucking 6 different services. It’s not even about the money. I just truly cannot be bothered working out the maze of what is where when an RSS feed will just deliver me the stuff I’m interested in when it comes out from anywhere.

    None. We had Netflix for 8 years, but we cancelled it a couple of months ago.

    Edit: scrolling through the comments made me remember that music is also a streaming service, so one - Spotify

    None, I refuse to sign up for any subscription, unless it can be done through gift cards, so I know that I will only spend a static ammount of money when I can afford it.

      Have you heard of Privacy? It’s an app that sets up virtual credit card numbers and you can specify how much or how many or how often that number can be charged. I mainly use it for “free” trials that want a credit card to bill if you don’t cancel after the trial period. I set a $1 limit so the company thinks it’s a real card when they do the small feeler charge. Saves me the hassle of remembering to cancel.

      You can obviously use it for other purposes, like when you might be dealing with an iffy vendor.

    Zero.

    I have a friend’s account to Netflix (I don’t use much) - I mainly type watch x free online in the search engine.

      Not sure why you’ve been downvoted, zero is just as valid and answer as anything else.

      Do you still have access to Netflix? They don’t allow different IP addresses where I am

        Hmm. Okay, I had 😂

        Login works but it says to renew the subscription.
        The friend might have ended it.
