While some subscriptions clearly aren’t worth the cost to me, others are. The problem is that a bunch of cheap subscriptions add up to a bunch of money.

• $11.99 for Netflix for 4 screens + ultra HD
• $11.99 for Hulu no commercials
• $9.99 for Apple Music
• $14.99 for HBO Now
• $13.99 for web hosting
• $19.99 for Slingplayer
• $4.99 for CBS

No one feels like much. Together, they’re nearly $90 a month, or more than $1,000 a year.

Ouch.

We cut the cord on cable a long time ago, and we’re still coming out on top compared to the cost of a cable subscription, but we aren’t getting all of the channels but we never watched all the channels.

That isn’t including the puny bit of patronage I am able pay to my favorite Internet acquaintances, particularly Marco Arment and Brett Terpstra. Shout out to 5by5 as well. They’re great!
