Hmm that does make me wonder exactly how many subscriptions I have at the moment.

Streaming services I have:
Netflix
Spotify
SiriusXM
Disney+
CBS / Paramount
Amazon Prime
HBOMax

For games & apps:
I keep an FFXIV subscription active, but I think that's the only game I have on autopay subscription right now - used to be a lot more once upon a time.
1Password has a subscription, and Carrot weather has a subscription
Playstation+
Humble Choice

That's without counting utilities (phones, internet access, etc)

Hmm.. I do use all of those on a weekly basis, but only a few on a daily basis. Regardless, it's actually somewhat sobering to list them all out and realize all that money leaking out the door.
 
Amazon Prime
Netflix
Tidal
Elder Scrolls Online
