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.

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

Is a treadmill show just something you watch while you're on the treadmill?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Right I meant more the expression itself, first time I see it I think.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Netflix serves more.

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?

Official support from Nebula or from Grayjay? I reinstalled and it's definitely in there.

Support from Nebula

I'd gladly pay €15 a month if they guaranteed not to track me on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

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

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