A bit more niche, but I'd say Roll20 for online TTRPG's. It has quirks, absolutely, but it has gotten better overall and is free with optional paid plans that offer good benefits which are not necessities.
ddns.net
Let's you register an easy to remember domain name linked to an IP address you specify. It's useful for self hosting or avoiding having to buy a domain name.
Free version makes you confirm every month that you still want the domain name, but that's just a couple of clicks from the email they send you.

Not sure if they qualify as "services," but discogs, rateyourmusic and genius are holding up fairly well. IMDB is also pretty good, still.
I swear I ran into a problem with IMDb having some basic stuff like "what has this actor been in recently" stuck behind their IMDbPro paywall at some point in the last couple years.
But I just went and checked a few movies and shows, can't seem to replicate that issue anywhere.
I either hallucinated it, or they rolled back the enshittification after seeing a drop in traffic, not sure

Playing cards. More or less unchanged from 30 years ago. Real nice, games still play the same too.
Oh also my local electric company is still providing well for not too much money.
Wouldn't it be great to have a search engine that would bring up sites and services like those in this thread, and exclude enshittified trash like youtube, amazon, etc etc.
With some manual configuration, that's something you can do with Kagi!

Edit: Stract.com it is what Google was like in early 2000s. It's not perfect, but its free till the dude dev running it in his basement needs paid support

Procreate. I have payed for it once and it gives me to this day free updates. I had still so much fun drawing.
For a moment there I did not know that word is the name of a software application. Reading your sentence literally is... odd.

I haven't been using it forever because I was just recently forced to switch to it from Pocket (courtesy of Mozilla's enshittification journey), but Instapaper seems to have been going strong since 2008.
