Pratically speaking, what does it mean to "sometimes subscribe"?
- silverquiet 2y agoIf I don't use it for awhile, then I unsubscribe. If I find myself in a situation where I'll potentially be listening to a lot of music (recently it was a road trip), then I'll re-up it. If they send me a good deal and I notice it, then maybe I'll re-up then. Given the cost, it probably doesn't matter, but as I said I'm very skeptical of subscriptions.
- olex 2y agoThe way I handle any streaming video subscriptions is: - Have a list of stuff I want to watch. - Once the list has enough on it from any one streaming provider (Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO, etc), I activate my subscription on that service, pay for a month, and immediately cancel. - Use the month of access I just bought to watch the stuff. - Continue with whichever service "fills up" next at some point in the future. This method results in me typically buying a month of access on the usual suspect services once per year or so, and I never pay when I'm not actively using the services.
