YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

Nebula is pretty good these days, I can't remember the last time I deliberately watched something on YouTube.

Yeah, Nebula is awesome.

What's nebula? Where can I find it?

[-] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula_%28streaming_service%29

It has a bunch of popular YouTube channels.

It doesn't really have a recommendation engine but if you already have a bunch of creators on there it's a cheap way to go as free.

They also have a bunch of Nebula exclusive series, like the guy who makes Not Just Bikes going to cities and trying all their transit in one day.

Alright thanks, will check it out

Make sure to sign up via a creator's link! (the ones they'll put in the sponsored section of a video where they are "sponsored" by Nebula as one of Nebula's creators)

Gets you a pretty good discount and drops it to about 30 bucks a year.

I say this as someone with a nebula account and likes to watch stuff from nebula: I strongly dislike their website. My biggest annoyance is I can't go to a specific creator's page and search for videos that I know exist, I have to scroll through their entire history searching for it.

Search just fully doesn't work on my android TV.

100% agree that the app needs work, although someone else in this thread mentioned grayjay which can frontend multiple sources including nebula and patreon so I'm trying that now

Speedrunners unfortunately use YouTube and twitch only. So it’s pick your cancer on that front.

At least twitch is a bit different than YouTube in that the culture there it's normal for people to pay and donate to streamers. Even though the owners still suck massively, of course
