What is a subscription, software or product that you gladly paid for?

For me it would be a premium rice cooker, Fastmail and Studio One (a DAW).

Every website I use is being gladly payed with my personal data. Every government-related service or bank is not gladly payed with my personal data. What about money I prefer not to use them online except of bitcoins because everything requires me to pay not only with money but also with data.

sr.ht - Reasonable people, who you can actually talk to, supplying automated builds, and everything I actually want to do with my code, whilst equally allowing me to ignore anything that isn't.

iDrive for backup. Digital Ocean for hosting.

What makes iDrive stand out compared to other options?

It is cheap. I preferred Backblaze for the UX and is reasonably priced for one PC but they want a subscription per device!
