I know it’s the title but I dislike clickbait.
I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smooth-brained subscriber. The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscriptions, according to a 2021 poll of 2,500 by digital services firm West Monroe, which found this spending was up 15 percent from 2018. Not a single person polled knew what his actual monthly spending was.I only spend $17.38 a month on subscriptions. But that’s because I share many family plans.
I have rent, utility bills and stuff which total about C$2250 (1650 US) a month, then add food. The only other thing I have is Amazon for C$5.64/month (4.10 US) which I’m watching closely for them to raise the price on me. Everything else I pre-pay for between 6 to 24 months and never set to autopay. I used to have Mullvad VPN but I’ve let it lapse these last few months for now.
Idk if the article only considers the latter (5-20 dollars a month type of) subscriptions, or if it includes the subscriptions to keep me from being hungry, jobless and homeless, hahaha…

Yeah, I do, I’m spending zero. When a site pops up a ‘SUBSCRIBE’, I click on my site-block extension. It’s like a filter for all the bogus crap out there.
At the moment: $0
Yarr
Funny thing I noticed when I got into higher level IT and started purchasing.
Two different companies, both very different in business practices. BOTH hated the idea of subscriptions.
“Yo, boss, check this requisition for $30/mo.”
No.
“Yo, boss, check this requisition for a onetime $3,000.”
Signed having barely looked at it.
Having said that, our AWS spend is stunning. $6M/yr. for ALL our software needs. But still, they’re hesitant to add more and my mission now is to dial it in.
Already do…

What is a piracy subscription?
Stuff
Too expensive. I think I’ll stick to ublock.
Off to the top of my head, no, I don’t. But I have a label in YNAB specifically for subscriptions. So I could find out pretty quickly
At the moment: ~160$ Only for stuff like Bitwarden, Tutanota, various recurring donations, my music streaming service and my high quality newspaper.

$1/mo for a website domain (superspruce.org) $1/mo for a game subscription my friend pressured me to get. It’s billed annually. I won’t be renewing it.
That’s it. Unless you count my motorcycle insurance.
i am only subscribed to amazon prime (because i save on shipment) which is 9€ a month, might cancel honestly. and my family has a collective spotify subscription. i think that’s reasonable.
At least in the US, you get free shipping on orders of $25 or more on Amazon. I cancelled prime student because I found I was only using Amazon once a month to buy things and never used the other crappy prime benefits.
This inspired me to check.
Looks like I’m spending ~$20/month.
Spotify, Motortrend, Twitch Sub.Do you have amazon prime?
I do but I’m planning to cancel it before renewal.
I don’t have any subscriptions…
Closest I have is geoguessr which I prepay with giftcards.
The only subscription I have is Spotify.
PIRACY WILL NEVER DIE
