If you're not paying for a service, you're the product.

I'm seeing this tweet popping up everywhere and I love it, it's so true. Lately, I've started realizing and figuring out that I don't like all the services I'm paying for. I have to really think about if I use them enough to be worth the price, and cancel out when I realize I don't use it enough for the price.<br><br>Spotify: I love listening to music and listening to podcasts, so Spotify is one of my most paid services. I listen to a lot of music and some podcasts. Spotify is definitely one of my most used services that I pay for.<br><br>Netflix: With the spread of covid, I'm watching more Netflix, which makes the service more useful and thus I continue the subscription. I'd say Netflix is the second service I use with Spotify. I will say that the price is getting higher and higher, but not too bad.<br><br>Spotify > Netflix<br><br>Now the services I'm not so sure about: Adobe Creative Suite, Dropbox, Google Photos (Should I just get a hard drive and put my photos on there? It's only 500GB of photos), Xbox Live Gold, Origin Live, and Google Play Music. With Xbox Live Gold and Origin Live, I barely play any games and the only time I do is once every 2-3 months. So, I don't think I'll be paying for those services. The others, I'll consider what I use them for, if I don't use it, I'll just get a free version.<br><br>What services do you use? What are some free alternatives?
