MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Let’s assume here is a given or you have a reason why not, but what is floating your boat?
I’m still on Prime for another couple of months after a big buying spree for work stuff last spring. Got to say now I’m not buying stuff the music and film stuff is pretty crap.
Disney plus is about to run out for me as I had a free 6 months via O2. Not certain if Wandavision will get any money from me.
Back in Spotify for a bit although I have a disturbingly large amount of bought and locally stored music. It keeps me a bit more up to date rather than just playing the same 700Gb of music.
The big one for me is the New York Times cookery subscription. I try once a week to cook something new from there and I’m always nicking ideas.
Add in the rolling shitstorm that my Washington Post sub gives me (inc more food) and that is pretty much it.
Who gets your dollar?
All I can think of at the moment....

They all have their charms, but I think Disney's getting booted, only got it for The Mandalorian. That Wandavision seems a bit too niche Marvel fanboy for my liking and out of all the stuff they teased last month, Loki was about the only interesting thing there. 6 quid a month for Star Wars films that I already have and Marvel films i'll never watch again seems a bit much

Strava
Veloviewer
Prime
Spotify
Zwift (does that qualify as a website?)
The only one out of those that I don't really use is Veloviewer as Strava covers most of what I used to get out of it these days (don't need the in-depth analysis and the Explorer stuff is moot right now) but every time it comes round to renewal time I pay the £20 as I would be sad to see it go!

That’s all I subscribe to

Here.
YouTube music, (yeah really! And I don't mind it.)
Office 365.
The daughter has Netflix logged in on the telly and I use that occasionally.
To answer the OP’s question; no I don’t subscribe to any websites.
I do subscribe to lots of the things that are not websites that are listed in this thread thread though. :confused:
Oh forgot...
Strava
OS Maps
Amazon Prime
Zwift
Audibles
Netflix
We will be cancelling Amazon Prime as we only subscribe for a couple of months before Christmas for free delivery.
Audible is great for the commute to work. I detest the radio especially with the current doom and gloom.
@timmys Sorry. I'm old. That's my reason for being confused. What's yours? 😉
Hmm, going by online subscriptions

Zwift (without doubt the one I've got the most value from)

Is now tv any good? Really wanna see the last 3 seasons of modern family, seems about the only place to get it?.
Is now tv any good?
Only got the movies section - For films better than prime for sure. And on tesco clubcard vouchers a worthwhile price. One of Now, Prime and Netflix needs to go (arguably two). If I could wean myself of the whore that is amazon shopping then it should probably be prime.

evo magazine
Amazon Prime (free via Vitality)

I keep thinking about OS subscription and also some sort of news site, but not sure which. Recently got The Week Junior for my eldest and tempted with the grown up version.

How am I the first person to say The Athletic, its pretty much the only way to get decent sport content these days especially if you like American sports or just basketball in my case. Its analytical and informative rather than anecdotal.
STW

Eurosport

Disney plus (finishes next month)
I have BT sort on my work phone which was free for a year, won't be keeping that on, trying to watch rugby on an iPhone is hard work.
Have been thinking about The Athletic couple of mates swear by it.
Never bothered with normal papers

Motorhome fun..very useful but inhabited by a large number of racist, hard right gammons including the owner/moderator so I'm not sure how long before I'm banned
Here, Zwift and Strava.
I get the FT from work, but I would still take it if I did not.
Define website? There are a lot of streaming service providers being listed, might as well add sky to the same list if you have it?!
Anyway:
Here.
Strava.
PSPlus.
Nintendo online.
Prime.
Pretty short list compared to a few and I'm not sure they'll last the year.
Rather than put "Here", could people put STW when listing interesting sites.
I've just spent 10 mins on the internet looking for a really useful site called "Here", possibly news or cycling/maps based and failed entirely. Did find here.com, which was a really dull logistic company website, and I couldn't understand everybody's fascination...
Now feel somewhat stupid as the penny dropped, that you all meant here.
STW
Prime (intermittently)
SKY
Best value? Readly (read/scan so many magazines on there - allows 3 or 4 devices so you could share the cost too).
soundcloud Go - was getting really annoyed with adverts (exactly how spotify got me)
Also just subscribed to beatport link which has a integration with dj pro and has a vast array of tracks
Netlix…is that a website?
Yes, you can stream via your web browser.
Same with Spotify and Amazon Prime video.

i think the best value has got to be OS maps. £25 a year for all the UK mapping that can be down loaded. gets used all the time so i definitely get my 25 pounds worth!

You're better off on here if it's old losers you're after.

Harsh but fair 🤣
Here - old skool magazine version
Strava - not heavy user but I can't resist it for heatmaps/route planning
Netflix - gimme that 4K/HDR goodness (now via my Sky sub)
Amazon Prime - worth it for next day delivery, video an added bonus
Disney+ - worth it. Price is going up soon but that seems to be balanced with the addition of a load of new more adult focused content via this Star channel thing.
Patreon for a couple of podcasts
Sky - not worth it by any metric, purely a luxury for the football (though on a Black Friday deal wasn't much more than what I was paying for Netflix and NowTV separately which it replaced)
BT Sport - only £5 to add it to broadband so no brainer, but wish they would allow me to pay a bit more to get 4K
OS maps - as per Strava I am a route plotting whore
XBOX Game Pass Ultimate - as of yesterday thanks to the thread here - £80 for two years seemed a good deal
Apple One - was paying £15 for a family Music sub and ~£10 for 2Tb storage (mainly to back up all the family devices) so changing to the One sub at £30 seemed like a good deal to add in TV+, News+ (impressive number of magazines available), Arcade (ad free games for the kids on their iPads is a dream), Fitness+ (never thought I would use this but have dabbled with it - mainly cliched WFH Yoga breaks. The integration with AppleTV + Apple Watch is very impressive.
This thread reminds we I really also ought to chuck The Guardian some money as well.
Motorhome fun sounds like a swinging/dogging site.

Apple TV+ (never watched)
Youtube premium (so the kids can watch download) - would love to get rid, now I'm forced to use Youtube music which sucks

That certainly is having problems with content now there is a clampdown on illegal uploads and allegations of exploitation of minors and others.
I’d cancel your sub if I was you.
