A lot. And it's not limited to money.
Netflix: The best series are getting stopped produced or go into the shitter. And then they rised the price for non-ad versions.
Reddit: Deleted my account when they stopped giving API away (RIF my beloved). And now I can't even read threads without an account. (Also: yay, finally made it here!)
Facebook: Deleted my account years ago already and not looking bad. Bad and confusing algorithms, spreading of misinformation and conspiracies, fake globetrotter, stealing and selling personal informations to advertisers and whatnot... I don't need that in my life.
Twitter/X: It already got slightly bad, but Musks takeover was like 5 of the 10 nails in the coffin. And seeing how quickly it went down... Good riddance.
YouTube Premium: I thought I'd give something back to content creators for all the years of entertainment. But Googles fight against smaller creators, Ad-Blocker and apparently it's own user base made my back down, cancel my subscription and use Firefox instead. It's bad that the only choice is an Android or Apple Phone, the choice between a rock and a hard place.
Microsoft: okay, I didn't fully transition. I took my gaming notebook and installed Linux CachyOS on it to try things out. It works great, and It feels better that using windows. But I guess for my PC, I'll do a dual boot or something first.
