In today's digital era, subscribing to streaming applications has become a part of your lifestyle. But if you are implementing the YONO principle, aka You Only Need One, aka a minimalist and frugal lifestyle, you don't need to pay for all services every month.
The YONO lifestyle does not mean sacrificing comfort, but adjusting your needs to be more economical and efficient. Choose one streaming service that best suits your habits, and leave the ones that make your bill swell.
Remember, you don't have to subscribe to all services, just the ones you need. With the right strategy, you can enjoy your favorite entertainment without being wasteful. Come on, sort streaming applications based on your needs with the tips shared by the Ministry of Communication and Digital below!
1. Netflix
- Suitable for you if:
Watching movies and series is your main entertainment after work or college.
You are a fan of Korean dramas, inspiring documentaries, or original Netflix content.
You are anti-advertisement and want to watch in HD or even 4K quality.
- But maybe you don't need it if:
You prefer to scroll YouTube or TikTok for entertainment.
There is already cable TV or other entertainment media at home.
You don't mind watching with ads on free platforms like Vidio or iQIYI.
2. Spotify
- Suitable for you if:
Music is an important part of working, studying, exercising, or accompanying you on your travels.
You don't want your mood to be ruined by ads popping up in the middle of a song.
You want to be able to listen to music offline and with clearer sound quality.
- But maybe you don't need it if:
You only listen to music occasionally and YouTube is enough.
You don't mind ads popping up occasionally.
You still have a large collection of songs on your phone or laptop that can be played without the internet.
