Yes, like most of my friends Ive the cost of living (in Melbourne) rise so much I have far less disposable income, add to that the huge number of competing services each wanting their piece of the pie and now I avoid most subscription based offerings.
In the last year I've gotten rid of Dropbox, Amazon Prime, Amazon Audible, Netflix, YouTube premium, Evernote, GitHub Pro, several Patreon pod/vodcasts, A VPS, WhiskyClub and a few other things.
I've kept: iCloud storage, Fastmail, Apple Music, BackBlaze, Overcast
I'm contemplating getting rid of: 1Password, Bear.
- PenguinCoder 4y agoLike you and others in this thread I've been cutting back in subscription services. Difference is I plan on keeping my off-site backups (backblaze) and email (fast mail) . Those are important and vital enough for me to pay for and keep them. Other services like streaming music/movies or Amazon Prime, I have already cut back on. Non essentials.
- smcleod 4y agoYes I have kept those as well.
