I was a happy Netflix user until 2018, before that I haven’t really pirated any movies (with very rare exceptions) for almost a decade but I recently started again. I’m was doing my monthly budgeting and realized I was paying for too many subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+, Hulu and Crunchyroll. My family likes to watch different types of content that is distributed on many different platforms.

I was never subscribed to these many services until a couple years ago. I was thinking which service I should cancel when I realized I had the option to cancel all of them this entire time. I’m torrenting again and I started saving a considerate amount.

The only service I’m paying for is Spotify which I think it’s fairly priced and offers all the music my family listens too (and it’s convenient). All the competitors pretty much offer the same content and that’s how streaming services should be.

I remember back in the day using eMule and BitChe (to look for torrents). Now I’m using Deluge as my torrent client and I I get my torrents from 1337x. What sites are you guys using?

    Try InnerTube. I tried ViMusic, but the UI is terrible isn’t it?

    InnerTube is the same, but the UI is more intuitive.

      Whoa! Both of these are very cool. Is there way to migrate from Spotify to another service?

        Sadly I don’t think so. InnurTune is just a YouTube Music with different UI and Features. You can’t even log in with you Google account.

        I am afraid you will need to add your favorite artists / songs manually.

      My pick with ViMusic is not that the ui looks bad, honestly I kinda like it, but it looks like it isn’t being maintained anymore.

        Then that’s why I found the UI so messy and out of style. It may have been good years ago.
