Zero for me. No Netflix or anything here, I'm not into subscription based services.

But if you do have subscription based services, what might be the better ones out there?

  • End to end encrypted cloud (for sharing private stuff), European.
  • Not E2EE cloud, for public sharing and for general purpose email. European.
  • Encrypted email. European.
  • When I need to use one, a VPN. European.
  • Web hosting. European.
  • Password manager, not European (but I'm slowly switching).

I used to also pay for Kagi (best search engine I've used) but I gave up on it... at least for now.

I'm subscribed to a few print newspapers and magazines, those also give me access to their digital versions at no extra cost but since I never read them online (there is not tracking when reading print, and I prefer it that way), I don't count those as online subscriptions.

    You described Kagi as the best, but also gave up on it. I am curious why? Is it just not worth the price?

    Yes, it's worth its price (IA may quickly change that by rendering search engines less... central, one day) it's the best search engine I can think of. So, why giving up on it? Easy: I'd rather spend my money on non-US tech companies, at least for the time being:
