Ask HN: What do people pay for on a regular basis
In the last week I have signed up to medium and given €10 to wikipedia.
What do you consider worth subscribing or donating to?
Online iCloud storage. Being on the Mac ecosystem just makes it easy
Gym membership: gotta stay healthy
I have a $14 monthly donation for some religious institution. And about 10% of my salary goes to paying off debt.
I pay for a VPN (Mullvad) every now and then. Also have my own domain name which I never use but I'm afraid of domain name squatters.
I would actually pay for membership to some elite club. Unfortunately, it looks like Something Awful or MMOs are the closest to that.
I'd also pay for anything that sufficiently motivates, even if it gets me working an extra hour per month. Haven't found anything along those lines. Some work for a short period of time but the motivation wears off.
I did a bunch of research and felt this was a quality charity that gives great impact for dollars spent.
2) Any free software/service I use multiple times. I'll look for a donate option. I'm not particularly generous but do like to support with something.
I donate to: - One small NGO that assist poor college students with basic stuff (rent, food, etc)
Wikipedia — I Square Cash them a few bucks a month, because it's my most used site by far.
PlayStation + — Because you can't merk kids in CoD/FIFA without it.
A whole tonne of other stuff for life I won't bore you with or create too much of an identifiable footprint with :-)
- Adobe photoshop + LightRoom (Adobe)
- Unlimited hosting of images (SmugMug)
- Spotify
- Moviepass
