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

Not really productivity services, but to name a couple,

  • Google One (extra storage, bonus YouTube Premium & YT Music premium)
  • MXroute for mail hosting (used to self host)
  • Amazon Prime (for the shipping, the content is a bonus for us)
  • Hulu (kid's gotta see that ONE show... ๐Ÿ™„)
  • Lemmy.world (via Patron)
  • Couple of YouTube creators and app publishers I enjoy regularly (via Patreon)

I'm considering joining Nebula because many of the creators I frequently watch on YouTube are setting up shop up over there, and I'm getting irritated with YouTube for how The Algorithm is affecting the quality and content of the infotainment channels I enjoy.

The phone app has it's problems at times, things like resetting to the main page, and other little nuisances, but I really like Nebula, went so far as to pay for their lifetime deal.

Was Google one (including yt premium) a limited time deal? I don't see them connected right now.

You know? That might have been the case. I was an old Google Music subscriber, and I think when that rolled over to YT Music the subscription package bundled in YouTube premium. Later when I bit on the Google One subscription later, I think it was on a promotional offer. I remember it was about $100 at the time, and it aligned with some storage needs U had so why not?

I just looked and it seems the Google 1 and YT sub's are billed separately. It was a while ago and my memory is hazy, but I'm into Google services for about $30 a month these days, and that's what I pay for.

I pay for yt premium family ($23/mo) now. Was also a yt red subscriber.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Same here. YT family plan, and $99/yr for the G1 storage (plus other benefits, but mostly the storage)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I'm just using the default storage, and have a Nextcloud instance for any files I need to access.

I do use Google photos, but I skirt there uploads using my old pixel 1 to upload my pixel 8pro photos :) so my storage is mostly static with Google
