Scalzi posted a list of all the subscriptions he pays for online, and to me it looks a little extravagant. Here's my list:
  • Flickr pro account ($25 per year? something like that)
  • Netflix including online access ($17 per month)
  • Librarything lifetime membership (I think it was $20; that's the kind of fee I'm willing to pay)
  • My domain and hosting (I paid for 2 years in advance, I think. $6 per month?)

Things Scalzi mentioned that I use but don't pay for:
  • Livejournal x2
  • Newspapers (NY Times, Boston Globe, others)
  • Encyclopedias (while I was teaching, I had full access to the Simmons system which had every academic source you could think of; now I use the BPL and my local library network online when I need a reasonably vetted resource. Mostly I use wikipedia, tho)
  • Streaming music (various places)

Things I've considered paying for:
  • Metafilter account: ($5, I think lifetime? I should just do that)
  • Wikipedia donation drives

Is there anything you pay for online that you consider totally worthwhile?
