Slowly but surely, we dropped Amazon, Netflix, and a few other services so far. My goal once I have free time is to setup a plex server so my parents can partake aswell.
Probably the only thing that won’t get cancelled is YouTube as it provides to many benfits even as the cost goes up when split across 3 households
I’m surprised that of all the services you would pay for YouTube, as I’ve never considered it. What advantages does a paid subscription have over uBlock/Sponsorblock?
The ability to download and use YouTube music with my screen off and the lack of ads on videos I watch on YouTube all the while still supporting the creators.
I think the $25 a month is worth it when I don’t gotta worry about anything. Plus split that over 7 people and it’s cheaper than Spotify.
Thanks, I can see how it works out with a 7 way split and a service that “just works”.
I still run an old version of Vanced for screen off radio style music in my truck, though I mostly stream from my own collection now with Ampache/Ultrasonic. I’ve done a ton of ripping lately with Zotify, it pulls down whole albums and discographies from Spotify in decent quality, and combined with Beets everything gets tagged perfectly.
With the recent price increases in streaming services lately I’ve been concerned about the long term survival of the industry, and figured it was time to start rebuilding my own music library.

I would recommend Jellyfin instead of Plex, it does basically the same thing but it’s open source and way less bloated

There are downloaders that can pillage whatever audio you need, and vlc is shockingly full featured on android.

“Aswell” isn’t a word. Are you using to suggest someone’s riding a swell, like on the water? Are you saying something’s inflamed?

Its a poetic way to say ‘on top of a wave’, fuck your ‘not a word’ bullshit. I could swear its used at least once in… I want to say moby dick?

You don’t have to pay for YouTube revanced. There are also versions of it for PC.
Anyone know a good alternative to amazon? I fucking hate them so much, they have fucked me over countless times, but I keep crawling back…
