We subscribe to all of those things. Netflix as the primary streaming service. Disney+ because the kids love Frozen. Youtube so the kids don't get blasted by ads on their iPads. Spotify because it's the only real music streaming option. And Amazon Prime, not for entertainment but 2-day shipping and free grocery delivery.
You're talking about $52 a month. For easily 20+ hours of entertainment (or time savings in terms of Amazon Prime). In terms of quality of life, it's much more impactful than say upgrading from a Subaru to a Mercedes. Despite costing an order of magnitude less.
- st1x7 6y agoYes, I think you're right. Having all of them doesn't feel redundant when we're talking about a whole family and the cost isn't that high.
- ss2003 6y agoIf you get a pihole you can stop the ads for the kids and save a few bucks.
- dcolkitt 6y agoYeah, that's a great point. I have a raspberry pi that I've been meaning to setup for a while now. Though the other advantage with Youtube Premium is that you can cache videos offline in the kids app. That's super-helpful for long trips. (Not that there's been many in 2020.)
- TorKlingberg 6y agoCan pihole really block YouTube ads? A quick googling suggests not.
- oldie 6y agoRegrettably, it can't.
