Ask HN: What are your favorite subscription services?

I've got a bunch of monthly subscriptions, both to online services and subscription boxes. Here's my top four:

Groove Music - I've flirted with Spotify and Google Music (which I actually have a "free" subscription to through YouTube Red), but my modest music collection has been with Microsoft ever since the Zune, and switching to another service promises to be tedious. Plus, the Groove app on Windows 10 is pretty good!

YouTube Red - I used to use an AdBlocker, but my primary method for watching YouTube is through the apps on my Xbox and Amazon Fire stick. YouTube Red blocks the ads on those devices too, while ensuring the creators I watch get some compensation from us at the same time (I also support creators through Patreon subscriptions). It was no-brainer, and probably my favorite subscription service.

Office365 - I'm all in on the Windows ecosystem and gladly pay for Office365. Access to the full Office suite, and 1tb of OneDrive storage (where I keep all of my documents and pictures).

BarkBox [0] - Our dog absolutely loves his Barkbox. They send our hound all sorts of creative toys and snacks every month, and he just has a whale of a time with all of it.

I have two:

Spotify - I love being able to find songs I want by searching as well as downloading songs

Daily Drip - I use this for Elm and Elixir tutorials. I may start trying to learn Ember and it is useful for that too.

MSDN - I forgot to add this. I have a BizSpark account and I fully take advantage of the things that are available to me. I know I won't be able to keep it forever though as, at least now, my business (aka just me) isn't profitable so I couldn't pay the yearly fee.

Jetbrains IDEs (PyCharm, IntelliJ, etc.). Jetbrains creates IDEs for various languages. I primarily use their PyCharm tool which I think is hands down the best I've seen for medium to large projects in Python.

I actually _like_ the fact that they are a subscription service (they recently switched from a one-time license purchase) since it encourages them to continue to support and improve their products. For less than 20 dollars a month, I can use a tool that makes me probably 30% more productive. There are very few things my company could invest in that would give higher ROI than that.

Spotify for all my music needs. Found so much new music over the years I'd have never of found without it.

Patreon - spend around £40 a month split between 2 creators at the moment, well worth it as their content is top notch.

Safari books online. Best online learning resource ive ever used

Play Music and Humble Monthly. It used to be Netflix, but I'm pissed at them for how limited the library is in my region compared to the US one.

No cable just gigabit internet from AT&T for $70 a month so...

Hulu, Netflix, CBS All Access, Sling TV.

Amazon Prime

Backblaze

JetBrains - only R#

Pluralsight

i give a guy on twitch $25 a month because we are somewhat friends and he's struggling with money.

and I pay $40 a month for 400mbit internet which is neat.

Spotify and Amazon Prime.

safaribooks. All the books and lots of video series.
