#3Cancelled mine a while ago. My partner likes watching YouTubers on the TV, and I can't abide ads. So I pay for YouTube, get rid of the ads, and get free music streaming as a benefit. Win win win!

#5I recently switched to an iPod and have a Samba server that I can use to access my music library on the go if needed, via WireGuard. Honestly, I could not be more happier with it. I think there are very few advantages for technically inclined people to still pay for streaming services, and the fees are not one of them.

#6I haven’t cancelled Spotify etc but I axed HBO max after what seemed to be the third email about another price increase in a short period.
Funny thing is, if they just had offered me larger one-shot price increase, I’d have paid it no mind likely. Something about the drip-feed of price increases in such a short time pissed me off enough to cancel though.

I rage quit Spotify a few years ago because they kept breaking how the app worked with frustrating regularity. This was around when they changed the hue of the spotify icon to a slightly different one.
YTM is arguably a worse product, but also a consistent one with zero UX churn, which I'll take any day of the week.
Youtube Premium is also very nice if you spend any time ever watching youtube videos.
