I'm cancelling subscriptions like crazy, I don't have any streaming TV subs left at all. I replaced them with something that gives actual value:
Kagi search engine. This wonderful thing has made me discover how much good sites there are out there!
Fastmail. Really fast and lots of actually useful features.
Jetbrains editors. I actually like the new user interface. :)
I got rid of Reddit!
Yep, the problem with subscriptions is the subscribers
There are very few services worth paying for monthly, but if people keep paying, companies keep moving to subscription models
+1 to JetBrains.
I started using them like 8 years ago and have never looked back. My dad introduced them to me when I was doing some homework on a family trip and my laptop was dead. After that, I used them for every class in college, then used them at a job where they didn't provide an IDE but I had the subscription.
Even when I'm not developing at home consistently, it's just so much better to have it than not.
