$50 a year to Starcraft Broodwar Patreon that casts Korean language games into English.
Technically, none.
But I do regularly buy gift cards for my self to get Geoguessr, I just refuse the whole subscription model.
If companies offered a one year pass without a subscription attached I believe they would have more customers.
They could even make it a few € more expensive than the normal subscription price for that period and I believe it would work fine.
A few weeks ago I found that you can get a lifetime pass for Nebula and Curiosity Stream for a resonable cost (a few hundred USD IIRC) and I am seriously considering it.
Disney+
I'm learning a language as a hobby and Disney+ BY FAR is the most consistent in having dubs and subs available in a variety of languages. I haven't actually watched anything that didn't have it (for the language I'm learning). Whereas most things on other streaming sites don't tend to have it at all unless it's a foreign film and that's the original language.
For me, it's easily worth the money just for that
Inkarnate. It's a tool for making fantasy maps for those who haven't heard of it. I think they have an extremely reasonable price per year for it.
Udio. There aren't yet any locally-runnable music generation tools like it, and even if they were they'd have to be pretty darned good to rival Udio's quality. I make a lot of use of it for tabletop roleplaying games, but also "just for fun." It's only $10 a month.
Real-Debrid. No more paying for compressed streaming services!
Whole home cleansing. They send a guy out quarterly who assesses each room and blows sage around hot spots. My home isn't very active but I sleep better at night knowing that there aren't dark energies in risk corridors.
Spotify. I started paying because I got fed up with shuffling my mp3 files from one place to another.
80% of the time I'm not angry at them. This day and age that is a high score. Hey Spotify: if you want to improve your score fix your recommendations during Eurovision Song Contest. There is nothing in my playlists that suggests that I'll even be remotely interested.

- ComEd, electricity
- Verizon, phone
- Spectrum, Internet - not cable because I refuse to watch commercials.
Yes these are technically subscription services.
- Pandora because _fuck ads and commercials - I never listen to the radio anymore.
The rest of my subscriptions are hit-or-miss. Disney+ because my fiancee likes keeping it I guess technically qualifies.
