What Subscriptions Do You Buy?

I know everyone knows this already but just had a win on the ‘threatening to cancel’ trick for my UK Virgin TV and broadband package subscription…

They wanted to increase the monthly cost to £170 but after a chat online and threat of cancel they reduced it to £95, threw in Netflix for free and the price is capped for 2 years it pays to ‘quit’.

…and nothing says “you’re in your 40s” like the above post

These days, everything is subscription-based, and I really mean everything seems to be.
So I am curious, what are some that you ALWAYS like to pay for, without a doubt?
Which ones do you WANT to buy but never (or rarely) do because you don't end up using them as much, or it doesn't have much good content (games, apps, tv shows, movies, etc) on.
And which ones do you REFUSE to buy - for whatever reason?


Netflix I get free with my phone contract (standard, no way am i upgrading to remove ads).
I had a 3-month trial for YouTube Premium and man, i really did love that, but it's something I won't pay for.
Spotify, I always pay for, that is ALWAYS a yes from me, unless it gets TOO high in price.

I had free Disney multiple times with my phone contracts (12 months each time) and they are not something I ever end up watching, so definitely no for me.
Amazon Prime is always fantastic, but again, I don't order enough stuff or watch enough things on there to feel the want or need to pay for premium. And I prefer Spotify to their music, so not worth it.

I do have a subscription for a clothes website, it's £10 for unlimited free next-day delivery, which lasts for 12 months, so it's a no-brainer - absolute bargain, and I do use that a lot.

I don't think there are any others I want, especially streaming services.
Oh, I did recently get Telegram premium but that was to stop scammers constantly harassing me - otherwise i never would have.

McDonald’s monopoly just won a month of Peacock 8 times haha I don’t know if it’s ad free. I use to pay for Hulu Netflix YouTube Spotify Apple Music and decided never again. I can watch reels and clips on X and TikTok and Don’t Miss any of them.
