Replying to Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil #vinnyg Do stuff like twitch subs/patreon things count
Yeah, I'd probably lump those each into their own
general

I think there are a few different ways to count them, but depends how you consider them
All the ones I have proc at the same time, so one single entry for Patreon one single entry for Twitch
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Rusp when he realizes his Fortnite Crew sub pushes him up a tier
I'm not subscribed to it
oh, I just assumed that was what you meant by all the FN presents you were opening
Replying to Wuvwand #loveland I should probably cut a couple of these out. I also benefit from other's subscriptions like my family plans that my parents don't have me pay for, and my cell phone bill (I do contribute to that though) (edited)
My only dumb sub is Twitter, which I picked up in 2023 because I liked what Elon was doing with it
it's cheap af, but I don't really know what it does
I think it's $1.50/month
Discord Nitro
NSO
Adobe despair
Twitch shit
Patreon shit
Gamepass Ultimate
I can’t think of anything else
Doordash Dash pass?
or w/e it's called
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Doordash Dash pass?
Technically have it but it’s not mine
If I expand to include stuff my family pays for that they share with me I’d easily go up like two tiers
yeah don't count it if you don't pay for it
My most expensive traditional subscription is ChatGPT @ $20/month
nothing else is close
That’s reasonable
Well compared to Adobe
it's a fucking lot
it's worth it
but still
Adobe doesn’t give you custom pickings, and so the only way to get premiere and photoshop is to pay for multiple subscriptions or the full cloud
how much do they end up costing Vinny? I only know the cheaper school pricing I've seen email ads for
Full cloud is like
$75 now
I'll never get YouTube on principle
but they do a good job paywalling worthwhile quality of life features (assuming you don't just circumvent to get them)
so I get why people sub
Loveland
please for the love of God
Ma subbed and offered to add me to her family so I get that “free”
do not waste your life watching ads
adblock or sub
I don't care which
but do one
Ads have gotten so bad
It’s ridiculous
the lazyiest approach is to just use Brave to watch YouTube on mobile, if you don't want to fuckaround with revanced or newpipe or w/e
or Firefox mobile if you're a degenerate
Anyone who doesn't adblock is almost inhuman to me
There was a point a decade ago where you could sort of pass it off as not being a big deal
but at this point you can't "just ignore them"
the web is fundmentally unusable with ads
I pretty much stopped watching YouTube on my TV because the ads there were so terrible
adblock
I’m lazy
It was easier to just not watch on the tv
any smart TV (google, Amazon, w/e) will have YouTube+adblock apps
I mean, if it doesn't matter it doesn't matter
but like, you already have downloaded the YouTube app on the TV
I mean, like I said Ma gave me her premium family subscription
just download a different app
Samsung App Store on tv is also ridiculously laggy and tedious to use ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're in luck, YouTube's layout has already continued to change for the worse for years at this point

the reddit app layout was never usable by my standards
when they killed their API and made 3rd party apps worse, my reddit usage fell 99%
I just use a browser tab when I need it
Reddit app has never been great
The only thing I use the Reddit app for is notifications for a few select things
