I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average Lemmer/Lemming (what do we call ourselves?) has?

None, I refuse to sign up for any subscription, unless it can be done through gift cards, so I know that I will only spend a static ammount of money when I can afford it.

Have you heard of Privacy? It's an app that sets up virtual credit card numbers and you can specify how much or how many or how often that number can be charged. I mainly use it for "free" trials that want a credit card to bill if you don't cancel after the trial period. I set a $1 limit so the company thinks it's a real card when they do the small feeler charge. Saves me the hassle of remembering to cancel.

You can obviously use it for other purposes, like when you might be dealing with an iffy vendor.

You can use gift cards for your Netflix subscription, I did that until I got it wrapped in to my internet package.

Yep, I did that for a while untill it just wasn't worth it to me any longer.
