What subscription service would you gladly pay for?
I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.
Protonmail.
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.
I prefer selecting my food.
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.
I've a Good news for you then you can achieve that for free. Since 2018 I've only seen ads only a handful of times and even that was because I was watching TV with my family on my sibling's "smart TV".
My setup, unlockorigins on web browser and next DNS on phone, also instead of YouTube use newpipe or even better tubular (tubular is just a fork of newpipe with sponsor block) and I pirate all the movies and TV shows.
Google used to have something like this where you 'paid as you went' by outbidding other advertisers for ad slots on websites. Only worked for google ads, though, and being a google product it was killed eventually...
I agree. I wear glasses anyway and I would love a subscription that filtered out digital ads, billboards, or any other kind of ad
I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don't watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.
Free >
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.
If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.
I wish there was a way to pay a one time fee (per release) to watch new releases as much as I want forever. Without downloading a damn app for each one.
don't get consession, just bring a water and call it good
then tickets are then $10-15, at least in that USA, that's easily justifiable to me once a month or so
You speak some truth here. I've been meaning hard to try and go out to movie theaters. I just keep ending up not going. Like, I know I'm missing out on the experience of seeing things on a gigantic screen at the comfort of a chair. I know I'm missing out on the latest and greatest. But it's the expensive concessions and the experience of hearing many sounds coming from people as the movie itself tries drowning out that waters it down for me. Not to mention having to travel to the theater and pay the rising ticket prices just for the negatives.
Man, I would never get a subscription for the Apple Vision / HP Reverb G2
Tbh, even if Valve offered one I don't think I would... I'm sure it would be the most fair subscription service out there, but I just don't think I could get on board.
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...
As of 2023 it's over 1000 USD.

TLDR: Overall total: $1064,45 USD/£974.35 GBP.
Seeebox and VPN.
I know somebody who knows someone who has a private movie (TV, etc) server and had the access for free up to this year... electric prices being what they are he finally had to start charging 10$ 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.
I've been wondering about the same.
Actually, this has been discussed on lemmy and we tried to set something up but it didnt pan out afaik. Feel free to push for it or link it if you find something that would work.
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.
Healthcare
Healthcare should be free
Taxes are the subscription.
Well, I mean.... to be fair, no healthcare is free. It's just paid for (in many cases) by taxes. That's the thing that isn't ever talked about. Taxes. The US has some of the lowest regional, state, and national taxes because there's no Healthcare taxes besides Medicare and social security. And even those are constantly being threatened to be deducted from.
If US had a set subscription for guaranteed universal Healthcare before the gov't could get their grubby hands on it, then US Healthcare could almost be something to brag about
CEO assassination as a service
Grocery shopping but not forgetting half my order, same things every week
An anime streaming service that actually has a lot of the older dubs not lost to time due to licensing deals expiring.
I don't have any subscriptions but maybe the patreon of a youtuber I like or something
Twit network that produces Security now if they would allow annual payment. I hate monthly payments.
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.
Try another service? Heard good things about the stations on Spotify and YouTube music 🤷♀️
