I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.

    I know somebody who knows someone who has a private movie (TV, etc) server and had the access for free up to this year… electric prices being what they are he finally had to start charging 10$ a month.

    I’ve used it for 4 years so in 4 more years the total charge is 5$ a month.

    I will gladly pay for a service like this that’s private & only done as a “hobby” rather than give my minutes to a corporation.

    One that splits my money over open source projects per my usage (I tell them). Currently it is too hard to find all donation links of all projects one uses and then keep an eye on them, update payment info and amount. Also if many people donate small amounts it would lessen the overhead compared to one person donating small amounts.

    Would or actually do?

    I would (but haven’t bothered) to pay for getting rid of CGNAT.

    I happily pay for my real debrid subscription.

    Apple Music, if they would fix their recommendation lists. If they allowed you to make actual , for lack of better phrase , stations like you can on Pandora.

    I’ve given up and asking them. I’m never going to get it so there’s no point in asking them again. I don’t know why they won’t make stations in that manner, but they just won’t.

        Well, I mean… to be fair, no healthcare is free. It’s just paid for (in many cases) by taxes. That’s the thing that isn’t ever talked about. Taxes. The US has some of the lowest regional, state, and national taxes because there’s no Healthcare taxes besides Medicare and social security. And even those are constantly being threatened to be deducted from.

        If US had a set subscription for guaranteed universal Healthcare before the gov’t could get their grubby hands on it, then US Healthcare could almost be something to brag about

          As of 2021, the US spent 16.6% of its gross GDP ($23.59 billions) on healthcare expenditures. The very next was Germany, at 12.7% of its $4.28 billion GDP. The US is spending more per-capita than any other OECD country on healthcare, it’s just not made visible by looking at the number on your tax report. You’re still collectively paying for it one way or another.

          But hey, yay, low taxes. Good for you, I guess?

          I’m trying to figure out why you’re being downvoted. It’s possible I’m ignorant. However, it was my understanding that for the average individual in the U.S. we do have some of the lowest tax-to-GDP in the world. This is, of course, offset by drastic cost-of-living increases making any percentage of a tax increase an actual and substantial barrier. That said, any tax increase should come out of the top 10%. Everyone else has been paying the price for far too long.
