“Used to work for Costco, and they treat their employees really well. Really good benefits even for part time. Supervisors make great money. I’ll keep a membership there forever.” —CornfedOMS “For those who are interested but don’t want to pay/can’t afford their subscription fee, they have a free weekly newsletter and open up 3–5 recipes every week. I have been copying/printing the ones I like to make it at a later date.” —KetchupOnKiwi “For sure, for sure.I said, ‘IDGAF about the ads’ and wouldn’t pay when I slapped my playlists on shuffle anyway and got unlimited skips at home on Wi-Fi. It wasn’t until working a job where I could bump on both speakers did I realize how frequent the ads were and how much they suck. Def worth it for what you get.” —Antdawg2400 “TBF, it’s a great app. Not only the access to pretty much all music, podcasts, and some audio books; but the algorithms they’ve got to recommend new music that you’ll like is amazing. They’ve shown me tons of music I really love. Also, I hate going through the process of making playlists, and there are tons on there that are great and are often curated specifically for you.” —liquid-swords93
“So much this.Reading the official release is better than sometimes poorly/awkwardly translated versions.The only SJ manga that I read not via the app anymore is one piece, and that’s ‘cause I’m impatient. And even then I always reread the official release.” —SingularBread
“I get more hours of entertainment out of Game Pass than anything else I spend money on. It’s the single most efficient $10 I spend every month.” —Warlornn “I’ve started games and found I didn’t like them. No refunds or exchanges to deal with. Just uninstall, and try another one.” —holdholdhold
“You also don’t have your brand-new electronics in nice obvious packaging sitting there announcing itself to porch pirates or getting rained on.” —eddyathome
“I got it for my family when my mother-in-law was going through pancreatic cancer (five years cancer free now). She devours 10 or more legal thrillers/police procedurals every month. I don’t use it much myself, but given that it kept her spirits up through the deadliest form of cancer, I’ll pay that $7 a month for as long as she lives if she keeps getting enjoyment out of it.” —Asteriad
“Audible helped me when I had a long commute to school. I would only listen to books while driving to school and back, so if I got a good book I wanted to finish I needed to go to school to do so.” —YoHeadAsplode “Yes, a million percent! I use it mostly for Animal Crossing and Mario Kart!” —desertkitty91
“This is the way.” —dobermandude306 “Disney+. My yearly subscription rolls over in a few days and, even though they’ve put up the price since a year ago (and I really wish that they hadn’t), it’s an absolute no-brainer to resub for another year.” —ensignr
“No AMC here (closest is 30–40 minutes away at least), so Regal Unlimited has been worth it for me (15 min. away). I love not having to save up and hope that I have enough points for a free ticket or checking/waiting for discounted movie tickets from stuff like T-Mobile Tuesdays.With that, I saw only the movies I felt like I HAD to see.Now I can see anything that peaks my interest. All the superhero movies (too many to count), Easter Sunday, Firestarter, Amsterdam, The Banshees of Inisherin…so many I’ve gotten to see that I would have had to wait to come out on RedBox and hope that there’s a free or discounted code.At the moment, even with the price going up after my year runs out, I will have seen at least 25-plus movies this year. Renewing ASAP.” —Taichikara
“My young son watches YouTube nonsense for hours, so it’s definitely worth it for me. And that’s not even considering background play and YouTube music.” —welshnick
