  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.

    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

      • TLDR News (and their other channels)
      • NileRed
      • PolyMatter
      • ColdFusion
      • TechAltar
      • Ali Abdaal
      • Thomas Frank
      • Wendover Productions
      • RealLifeLore
      • Climate Town
      • Half as Interesting
      • Real Engineering
      • BobbyBroccoli
      • EposVox
      • Not Just Bikes

      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 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.

    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
