I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.

I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…

    Nebula is so cheap I have a subscription even though I almost never use it. I would use it more if they had a better recommendation system, as it is now you almost have to search for a specific video you want or dig through piles of random videos you don’t care about.

      Yeah I mostly open Nebula when I’m watching a video, and the creator says “I had to censor this on YouTube, you can get the full version on Nebula”

      I would get a subscription but (at least last I checked) they don’t want European customers. Who the fuck has a credit card and why aren’t you accepting plain old bank transfers. I half-way expected them to list “mail us a cheque” under payment options.

        Wait, there are parts of the world where you can pay for online subscriptions via BANK TRANSFER?!

          Bank transfer is the standard option because everyone has a bank account and everyone can do it, also, there’s generally zero fees attached. There may be more convenient options, but it basically always is there as a fallback. As a company you have an account, anyway, only thing you need to do is have your payment system look through incoming transactions and scan the “intended use” field for a transaction id or account number or such you told people to put in there.
