I regularly spend 50k or so on market data, subscriptions, etc, a year, but I gotta tell you Fintwit is truly special. Crowdsourced tism > everything else

Can go on terminal / capiq and there's zero news, then you message a guy named "manicbugsbunnyenjoyer" and he brings you up to speed in 20 secs

This makes my spending sound worse than it is. Most of that is Bloomberg, the exchange data feeds are also quite high, and I pay for a few datasets plus Koyfin
