There’s a lot of things lately that I realized that I don’t really care for now that they are expensive anyway. I haven’t paid for XBox Game Pass since it went up. I’m not missing it. I haven’t had Neflix or Spotify in 2 years. I don’t miss it. Losing Amazon Prime saved me a ton of cash and made me realize I was buying crap I didn’t need. I haven’t had McDonald’s, Chipotle, or Jimmy John’s in a long time. Don’t miss it.
What are you using instead of Spotify? Just last week I stopped paying for Qobuz and switched to Free YouTube Music it actually kind of feels like a cheat code. In the browser uBlock deals with ads and for Android there are more than enough alternative apps. I really like the library as it include everything uploaded to YouTube including. Soundtracks, Covers or Mixtapes. Also buy an album from time to time for support.

For the last few years I ask for a 1 yr gift card for Spotify premium, costs like $99 so it balances not terrible for the year.
But especially since I have an AdGuard home DNS, I’m loving tubi. Haven’t seen an ad and the selection isn’t bad.
I’ll check it out. Unfortunately I have comcast and I’m forced to use their modem/router. Could I still set up an AdGuard DNS with it?
I had my own modem and router, but it mysteriously stopped working and comcast can’t figure out why. Happened with 2 modems, but theirs works fine.
You can set up a pfsense router behind your other router and install stuff on pfsense, including adblockers, dns, etc.
Basically you’ll go into your Comcast router, set up a static IP to be in the DMZ, and have that IP designated to the MAC address of your pfsense box.
There may be more to it as I haven’t messed with my routers in quite a while. I’m sure someone will correct me 😂
