Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I’ll list a few:

  • ChatGPT
  • Perplexity
  • Obsidian Sync
  • YouTube Premium

    • ChatGPT
    • YouTube Premium
    • DoorDash
    • ProtonMail
    • Google (storage)
    • Apple (storage)
    • MLB (game audio)
    • GitHub Premium
    • Various Twitch Streamers
    • Dropout
    • Apple Music

    I think that’s it. I would subscribe to Port87, but I made it, so I don’t need to.

    I understand that that’s a lot of subscriptions. I used to have a lot more, and I’ve been slowly unsubscribing.

    I’ve almost replaced ProtonMail with Port87, so that will be the next to go. I like ProtonMail, but I only subscribed so that I could do the things Port87 does automatically. I’ll still subscribe to Proton VPN though. I need that for… Linux ISOs.

    I’ve also almost replaced Google Photos with Immich, so that will go soon too.

    I’m thinking about replacing Apple Music with a self hosted option.

    I also am finding ChatGPT less and less useful as open source LLMs get closer in quality.
