This topic made me realize I have a lot:
- PS Plus Premium (got it for $60 a year)
- GamePass (got it for $50 a year)
- Nintendo Online Expansion
- Amazon Prime
- Walmart+
- Disney+
- HBO Max (get it free)
- Apple
How about you, OT?
This topic made me realize I have a lot:

Netflix DVD
And, um, you don't wanna know. But they're not on auto-renew.
I also am subscribed to that stupid 99 cent Apple thing because my mother asked me to pay for it one time months ago and still hasn't added a different card. Apple sucks for not simply having an option for one time payment.
Similar to you, OP, more than I realized:
PS+ Premium
Hulu
Spotify
Amazon Prime
Walmart+
YouTube TV
Ring
Google Fi
Frontier
Geico
Current:
Netflix
Apple Music
Recently cancelled (last month):
Amazon Prime monthly plan
PS Basic monthly plan
too many
it's the nature of things today. why get money from someone once when you can hook them into a monthly service and get them paying over and over.
i heard somewhere that pr1nter manufacturers are toying with the idea and requiring monthly payments for your fucking pr1nter to work*.
shit, i forgot to pay my refrigerator fee this month! all my food is spoiled!
* evidently GS thinks that word, properly spelled, is spam
🤔 I had a free trial so I used it for Shenmue. After the trial ended, I was watching it on Adult Swim. Stopped watching Shenmue though because it got boring lol.
Recently Expired
Game Pass Ultimate, the basic Nintendo Online (forgot to turn off auto-renew 🤦♂️), Netflix, Hulu, and I piggyback off my brother's Amazon Prime, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV+.
My brother and father both work for the cable company, they get TV and internet for next to nothing, people can use those credentials for other apps like HBO Max, use that a lot too.

Yea, that's how I'm getting HBO Max, through cable. Also picked up Walmart + because they added Paramount+ to it at no additional cost.

various crates, board games, and magazines... I'm sure there are more, and on that note I'm thinking about subscribing to Truebill to cut some of them..
Let's see.. after the mlb season I can cut Fubo and I won't resub to mlb but I think it would be tough to convince the family to drop any of the others. Oh well, you only live once.
@SolidGame_basic: It's a great service. I just don't have time to play all the games I have access to so since Sony and Nintendo are both paid yearly and gamepass was monthly, I decided to let gamepass lapse for a few months until some big games drop on there.
too many

Yeah, every one wants to servicize their products. It's even starting to leak into keeping the features on your hardware from being shut off such as BMW's pilot subscription for heated seats.
People (and by that, I mean companies) have decided that subscriptions without the cost of having to provide a continual service in exchange for those fees is the way to go.
@WitIsWisdom: I miss Gamers Club Unlocked. Now I barely buy anything from Best Buy Lol
Man... I've had that for so long and barely used it I didn't even realize they did away with it... I got a special 5 year deal or something at one point, guess I thought I still had it. We always put all the deals under my wife's info and due to her job she is always switching phones, so I just figured if I tried a couple numbers and couldn't find the account I just wouldn't use the discount... lol. Hell, come to think of it that happens at multiple places.
Then again I have noticed over the past couple years that Walmart often seems to offer games $10 less than many of their competitors so that's kind of a free alternative, although it's not always for every title. Another place people sleep on that often has buy 2 get one free, Buy 2 get a $20 gift card, or buy 1 get a $10 card, and other similar deals is Target.
I guess I can cross that one off my list either way.. just sucks it was already paid for in full.. lol.
Hmmm, too many I reckon:
Actually that's not as bad as I thought. Still cheaper than cable TV haha. Need to cancel Paramount though, haven't touched that in weeks.
@mattbbpl: that BMW thing is ridiculous. A heated seat is a product, not a service. BMW isn't coming around like a stewardess with a hot towel, offering it to you. It's in the car already, paid for.
@mrbojangles25: Yeah, it's stupid. I've grown pretty strongly anti subscription in recent years, and the mentality driving these decisions is a big reason why.
Profit growth is supposed to be a force driving improved products/services, not milking a customer base further for the same stuff.
Where are the fitness subscriptions, guys? :p
Planet Fitness - $10
Same. Forgot about this one.
Oh, and AAA, too.
Just remembered, I have a GameStop Pro subscription which pays for itself since GameStop gives you $5 coupons every month.
Paid for: Netflix, Disney +, Hulu (With commercials lol)
Borrowed/Traded: HBO Max, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime
Thinking of investing in Hidive since they're monopolizing good animes like Made in the Abyss. Or maybe I'll just use the free trial to binge watch it once it's done.
Was on Prime + Disney Plus
But for a while not Disney Plus has just been putting out shit.
Prob re-sub for Tales Of The Jedi and Ahsoka, but that's it/.
Prime, I was getting a discount on dog-food, but that's no longer a deal, so be cancelling that as well.
