  I mean that’s fair : value is relative.

  The main value of Nebula is no ads. I have YouTube on Firefox with uBlock Origin, so no ads either, but shitty performance due to YouTube fighting the AdBlocker. But more importantly I don’t think the ability to watch YouTube with no ads is a given, so I want to have a viable alternative.

  And secondly, I want to support the creators and a platform that sees me as a customer, not as a data-cow to be milked.

  I’m sure Nebula will eventually have a free tier, but that can incur high costs and degrade the experience for paying users. They’ll do it when they feel comfortable.

  It’s not for everyone, but I think it’s reasonable to pay for a platform that pays its content creators fairly. I spend a lot of things watching videos, and even though my income is limited, some kind of payment for the service makes sense.

  I don’t mind blocking ads on YouTube because they used unfair practices (endless resources from Google) to destroy the competition and become the only video provider. They put us in a corner and deserve to be put in one too.

  There’s a ton of content that’s much longer. There’s no 8-minute limitation.

  Nebula’s getting better and I spend more time there now than on YouTube. Happy that YouTube is working hard to encourage this transition.

  I mean you need the mustard or it won’t emulsify. 2 parts oil for one part of acid is better imho

  No, what did it was removing headphone jacks and selling only crappy non-repairable headphones.

  They’ll make iPhones in India. Which is actually what they are doing right now. Or in Vietnam. Or Ethiopia. You can’t tariff everyone 140% if you want your economy to work.
