Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I’ll list a few:

  • ChatGPT
  • Perplexity
  • Obsidian Sync
  • YouTube Premium
  • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works

    I just drop channels that do that nonsense.

    I’m okay with a 10-20s sponsor mention at the start or end, but some of them get long (like 1min+) or are right in the middle. Likewise, a quick 3s “like and subscribe” nod at the end is fine, just annoying in the middle.

    If a channel is annoying its viewers, I know to avoid it because the content is also likely mediocre. If they truly care about the content, they’ll keep the annoying crap to a minimum.

    It has served me pretty well so far.
