Phone bill - no choice
Internet bill - no choice
Insurance - no choice
World of Warcraft - sue me
Costco membership - worth it
VPN - worth it
I don’t pay for any others. Paid for lifetime Plex for the convenience of not needing to pay for a website domain like I would for jellyfin, and self host my own music, tv, and movies
3 of those are services. Most subscription shit we see these days are products that they want us to treat like services even though there is no on going consumption. All of these software subscription services are just grifts.
Furthermore, Costco employees will never push you to get the executive membership, if your previous year did not have enough spending on it to at least pay back the difference.
We actually had the Costco customer service Tell us to cancel our executive membership, because we didn’t earn enough over the year
That’s kind of what we were thinking, too, which is why we went with it. We are a family of six, which means that we’re always going to buy big quantities of stuff somewhere; might as well be at Costco.
The only subscriptions I am willing to pay for:

The only thing he listed that isn’t a service is his Costco membership.

Just got my Executive Membership rebate. It more than paid for the membership. We’re basically shopping at Costco for free.

If somebody doesn’t shop at Costco enough to justify the executive membership, I’m not sure the regular membership would be justified either.

But you could get so many hotdogs!!??!!
Actually I understand you can get the Hot Dogs without the membership. Which also blows my mind. Thry should just compete with Weinerschnitzel.
Sorry but I fucking lost it at it your justification for Warcraft. And that’s from somebody who’s been playing it on and off since mid-lich King
I’ll pay you 3 quid a month for read access to your server.
Ha just kidding, fuck subscriptions
I use jellyfin without paying for a domain…?
I stream my Plex server to my parents and inlaws so local and wireguard only isn’t feasible
