He seemed pretty happy when I was playing Hades.

My last office job, the cleaning staff would come in right as we were leaving. I dunno if it helped, but I always tried to make sure any trash in my corner was neat and they really only needed to do a quick turn over of my trash can. I don’t know if that’s a thing they appreciate, but I’ll always do that much for them. I may not be sanitizing tables or anything, but I think making a neat and orderly pile for your cleaning staff or even a table busser is just being a decent human being.

My utilities.

The uncertainty of the future of shows I actually enjoy means I don’t bother paying for any of that crap (I’d probably consider Shudder though). I run an Emby server with a ton of storage. I’m not going to pay a company to actively crater the content I actually want to watch. I did grab a Nebula/Curiosity Stream year-long sub at Christmas because it was heavily discounted. They’re likely to get more money from me, because it’s primarily creator driven and more (I think) of the revenue goes to the people who deserve it.

Moreover, the bulk of the crap isn’t worth spending money on anyway. If I wasn’t getting it for free, I just wouldn’t consume it at all. Hell, half the stuff I download just sits there until I “get around to it.” That list only grows, never shrinks.
