Ask HN: What do people pay for on a regular basis
In the last week I have signed up to medium and given €10 to wikipedia.
What do you consider worth subscribing or donating to?
- littleweep 8y ago- NYT/The Guardian digital subscriptions - Spotify - Moviepass
- fakeElonMusk 8y agoI have been donating to Doctors Without Borders for many years. Also local humane society and food bank. I pay monthly for NYTimes, Medium, Netflix, HBO and additional cloud storage.
- Gustomaximus 8y ago1) My current recurring is Mercy Ships: https://www.mercyships.org.au/ https://www.mercyships.org.au/ I did a bunch of research and felt this was a quality charity that gives great impact for dollars spent. 2) Any free software/service I use multiple times. I'll look for a donate option. I'm not particularly generous but do like to support with something.
- muzani 8y agoMy sister pays for Netflix, I pay Spotify family. I have a $14 monthly donation for some religious institution. And about 10% of my salary goes to paying off debt. I pay for a VPN (Mullvad) every now and then. Also have my own domain name which I never use but I'm afraid of domain name squatters. I would actually pay for membership to some elite club. Unfortunately, it looks like Something Awful or MMOs are the closest to that. I'd also pay for anything that sufficiently motivates, even if it gets me working an extra hour per month. Haven't found anything along those lines. Some work for a short period of time but the motivation wears off.
