Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I'll list a few:

ChatGPT
Perplexity
Obsidian Sync
YouTube Premium

I'm a software engineer as well, but (almost) none of my subscriptions are related to that. Currently:

Netflix
Disney+ bundle
Bitwarden (yearly)
DNS names (yearly) - currently unused because I bailed on Vultr due to TOS BS; this is for personal projects
Tiller (yearly) - pulls transactions from my various accounts

That's about it. Everything else I buy one at a time, like video games or donations.

I'd like to drop Netflix and Disney+ over their stupid ad policy, but my wife and kids use them a lot.

Here's some stuff I plan to get soon:

VPN - probably Mullvad
Tuta - finally axe Google
VPS - probably Hetzner; I'd prefer one without forced arbitration though; could get by if something like Tailscale allowed custom domains and port forwards
Backblaze B2 - backups
