Pirate everything. Pirate streams, torrents, whatever.
Pirate. Everything.
*unless it's an independent artist of some sort. then, just buy some merch from them or something.
Everyone is saying Piracy but I say Public LIbraries, which often have CDs/DVDs/BDs/games now (depending on your locale). They're taxpayer funded, so you might as well get your money's worth, and they keep track of how often stuff gets borrowed which determines future financial support.
(And if you are tech-savvy enough to be on Lemmy, you probably know how to make a ... permanent copy ... for yourself to keep)
Libraries are great. Just think about it, if libraries as a concept hasn't already exist, there is absolutely zero chance it will be invented in our time due to our overly restricting copyright law.
Which is exactly why big corporations are lobbying hard to get public library stripped of funds by any means necessary. I mean you can even 3D print spare parts in many libraries for free by now! The super rich cannot have that.
Never pay any of this services BTW, I have no regrets and I never feel that I miss something.
Same. I would never pay them for their shitty little services. Imagine paying monthly for dropbox, sporify etc for years... That's so much money.
Eh Spotify gets a whole family unlimited for 17 euro, it's pretty convenient compared to going finding and uploading to my device or purchasing individually.
Hey I don't judge you, probably depends on the income as well!
I basically canceled almost all my subscriptions and pirate stuff. Except music, since I build a CD collection and buy the rest online which is still cheaper than a streaming service and I can keep the music as long as I want without having to fear that songs will get removed from the service.
You are under no obligation to consume media. Even if you want to the library is free. Vote with your dollar; feel like a service is ripping you off, cancel it.
It’s not that I don’t want to pay for the service, it’s just that I hate the automatic recurring withdrawals, even if I can cancel monthly.
I would probably use more subscriptions if I could just pay like three month of access in advance - basically like these gift cards work.
eh... nintendo online isn't as shitty as the others
I just got charged $165 a couple days ago from two yearly subscriptions I totally forgot I had. We need a better solution. The banks should just implement the usage of Virtual Cards like Privacy.com does. It'd be so much more convent for people to cancel subscriptions, if they're allowed to have multiple different virtual cards that they can easily toggle on or off.
Why don't the banks do this?
Most subscriptions can be canceled with a few clicks, usually right after buying it without loosing the paid for time. If you cant manage your subscriptions, that sounds like a problem you should address yourself instead.
Your suggested solution of simply turning off the credit card the subscription is linked to doesn't cancel said subscription, it just results in a breach of contract from your side. That only works cause most companies can't be asked to deal with you, otherwise the subscriptions would continue and the incurring cost would sooner or later be sent to a collecting agency, with additional charges for late payments.
