Harder, but not impossible. I canceled apple music, Amazon prime, Netfilx, audible, and Youtube premium. The hardest thing to replace has been audible, but I go to the library more.
Edit: i also canceled NYTimes for the Guardian and the Atlantic for the Walrus.
I don’t know where it’s operated out of, but I use libro.fm instead of audible. You can download the audiobooks you purchase so you get a drm free copy, but they do also have a subscription model. An added bonus is that some of the profits are donated to libraries. I believe you maybe can specify which library your money goes to.
Even if it’s US based, at least there’s that benefit.

Libro.me is dope! When signing up see if your local library is an affiliate - that way they will get a small cut of all your purchases and subs 😁
One option is for something like Plex + Prologue for audiobooks…also, as you point out, libraries (often) have options.
