I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services).

My girlfriend that used to make fun of me is now considering cutting some of those costs.

What is your stance on this?

I haven't had them in the first place, but were considering a Netflix subscription years ago. Had I purchased a sub, I'd probably kept it until now. On other streaming services... I'd probably have pirated the shows outside Netflix, if I had an urge to watch them.

I'm wary of paying for more than two companies for one single service I seldom use.
