I was pretty excited about the bundle as some YouTubers I like seemed to recommend it heavily. Pop open CuriosityStream to watch something vaguely historical and it’s like 70% liberal, low quality ahistorical bullshit. “Apocalypse Stalin”, “Malcolm X vs MLK” – in the episode of whatever show I was watching (can’t even be bothered to remember) that was about Ghengis fucking Khan of all people, the narrator justifies his actions based on his abusive childhood and then goes on to randomly bring up Stalin as an example of how childhood parental abuse can lead someone to become a bloodthirsty dictator! Just totally random.

Nebula’s also like 50% garbage western pseudo-political scientists discussing stuff they have no idea about, most notably China. I like the stuff about video games and films for the most part… but I still feel like I was ripped off, even though it’s literally $15 for a whole year. I already have YouTube Premium, I was thinking this could replace it but dear god no.

    Always wondered what they were like, thanks for the heads up. Yeah I just automatically assume historical documentaries are going to be subpar at best in those such ways lol
