Imagine being me and paying for premium and using ublock + revanced.
At the end of the day, I think I get 10 dollars in value a month, and I know hosting data isn't free.
Edit: Right after I submitted I read the comment before me. Sorry about saying the exact same thing again 😅
I wouldn't ever give Google a single penny. Instead, I pay for Nebula, allowing me to watch high quality videos and documentaries while supporting indie creators. And it's just $5/month.
I will probably put my money where my mouth is, and get a nebula subscription
It's definitely worth it. And it's better to help independent creators instead of giving money to Google or other shady big tech companies.
Well, I ended up doing it for a year. I'll see if I end up using it or not.
Not enough content on Nebula. I subscribed because of a couple YouRubers I follow, but there’s just not much there (at least that I watch).
These are some Nebula creators I like
I still occasionally use YouTube, but much less than before. I also enjoy Odysee and PeerTube. Grayjay is an amazing Android app to manage all these streaming platforms in one central place.
Thanks for the list! I actually got nebula because of RealLifeLore and Wendover. I’ve since subscribed to TLDR News and Real Engineering so I’ll have to give the other creators on your list a view.
I can give you some video recommendations for each channel I listed if you want to
Just checked out Half as Interesting and realized it’s the same guy as Wendover. Recognized the voice immediately.
I’m interested. It’s a real shame they just paywall the entire app and don’t give you a chance to explore what’s there a little.
Thank you for being this way.
I think platform greed is awful, but I think consumer greed is something that largely goes unacknowledged.
Even though I've been 'over' the genre for more than a decade, I still buy Japanese shmups when they appear on Steam - at one time they could only be found on obscure JP Warez sites, forget legally here. I do it out of a sense of something owed for past joy, and never play the Steam ver.
I'm also hypocritical to a degree. I can only afford to support so much and I don't pay for everything, just what I would have paid for anyways. Perhaps there is some self-satisfying logic built in there lol
