groceries. it's kind of a hassle going to the store every other week. It's not like I'm gonna stop buying food, either.

Gladly? None.

I wouldn't pay for anything that should be one time payment and own forever. That include games.

You don't have to pay 🙂

a total removal of ads in my life. like, whatever marketers think I'm worth I'll just pay them directly to GTFO.

VPN then everything else is free..

the only "subscription" I pay for is a VPN

I’d say I go to see a movie in an actual movie theater once a year, but the truth is I probably go half as often as that.

It isn’t that I am not interested in movies, I just don’t see the value. I am supposed to pay for a ticket, concessions, and whatever goes into travel to the theater to watch a movie with a bunch of (probably annoying) strangers in a fairly gross environment?

My guess is my annual box office contribution is approximately 0.5x the current ticket price.

If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.

Even if it was relegated to expensive hardware, like an Apple Vision Pro, I would very likely buy the device and sign up for the subscription.

$240/year would be a hell of a lot more revenue than my current $5.50/year—regardless of whether or not it would be exclusive to certain hardware or platforms.

Honestly, my current TV and sound system may not be as impressive as a theater, but they are good and I’d take that experience over the modified bus depot experience of a public movie theater.

Free >

An odd and very specific, but sims 4. Only if it included any and all content as it's released with no additional fees/purchases.

Last I looked (and ignoring sales, just MSRP) is several hundred dollars.

Then I remember it's owned by EA...

Seeebox and VPN.

I know somebody who knows someone who has a private movie (TV, etc) server and had the access for free up to this year... electric prices being what they are he finally had to start charging 10$ a month.

I've used it for 4 years so in 4 more years the total charge is 5$ a month.

I will gladly pay for a service like this that's private & only done as a "hobby" rather than give my minutes to a corporation.

I wouldn't.

One that splits my money over open source projects per my usage (I tell them). Currently it is too hard to find all donation links of all projects one uses and then keep an eye on them, update payment info and amount. Also if many people donate small amounts it would lessen the overhead compared to one person donating small amounts.

Would or actually do?

I would (but haven't bothered) to pay for getting rid of CGNAT.

I happily pay for my real debrid subscription.

Time travel.

Healthcare

An anime streaming service that actually has a lot of the older dubs not lost to time due to licensing deals expiring.

Grocery shopping but not forgetting half my order, same things every week

I don't have any subscriptions but maybe the patreon of a youtuber I like or something

Apple Music, if they would fix their recommendation lists. If they allowed you to make actual , for lack of better phrase , stations like you can on Pandora.

I’ve given up and asking them. I’m never going to get it so there’s no point in asking them again. I don’t know why they won’t make stations in that manner, but they just won’t.
