    I’d pay YouTube if it were $5/month instead of $15.

    In fact, a couple of my favorite YouTube creators are on nebula.tv and I pay them $30/year.

      Family plan is 5 or 6 google accounts for 22$ a month. That’s what I do

      Nebula rules I always make a point to check there first. Great for treadmill shows and stuff

          honestly i’m not sure lol. I prefer shows I don’t have to pay too much attention to but i always end up watching real life lore/geopolitic/news videos and get really wrapped up in them. I’ll probably classify them as shows that i watch in my own and not with my fiance.

      It’s less than 5/month on the family plan IF you have 4 other people you’d like to share with

      The family plan is the only reason I pay for premium lol.

      I pay $14CAD for Crunchyroll and I don’t even use it that much. I use hours and hours of Youtube content pretty much every day. I also had Nebula but need to get that sorted again now that they aren’t with Curiosity Stream.

      People will pay for a lot of stuff but ask them to pay for Youtube and they will lose their damn minds.

        YouTube doesn’t even produce their own content. I’d rather get it somewhere else, if creators offer that option.

          Sure, but considering just how much they need to store and serve to viewers at the highest speed I kinda get it. Look if it was $20CAD a month I’d definitely reconsider, and if they start putting ads in anyway I’ll cancel because I’m not paying to still see that shit, but for now it’s fine.

      I wish Nebula had official support for third party clients.

      What I really want is a more decentralized approach. Hosting video is expensive so it would be idea if it could be offloaded to smaller community devices instead of huge server farms.

        There’s Peertube but it’s a model that requires a lot more people to work well. I tried to watch a video but nobody was seeding. That was my first experience with it.

        Doesn’t Grayjay have Nebula support?

      Nebula confuses me, to the point I wonder if I use the app completely differently or the owners post online everywhere how great they are.

      I tried it several years ago and it seemed like there wasn’t much content. Figured it was too new. I tried it again a couple months ago and there was still the same lack of content.

      A lot of topics have no videos at all. The ones that do have maybe one of two creators who make all the videos on that subject.

      I could not figure out a way to unsubscribe, the only option was to delete account. Checking every option and setting in both the app and online. Customer service didn’t respond until two months later.

          No worries they eventually got me unsubscribed. For whatever reason, that option never showed up. It just said what plan I was on under manage plan.

            Could just be that they’ve fixed their interface since then.

      They would lose money with every user if this was the case, UNLESS they stopped paying creators entirely
