    YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music, so the price comparison isn’t on equal footing. My only point is that if you don’t want the ads, you can remove them without an ad blocker.

      But I don’t want YouTube Music. I want to watch quality videos without ads where my money benefits creators first, not a corporation first.

      So by those metrics, Nebula is still a better bargain for me and a better place to spend my money.

        Only one of my YouTube channel subscriptions is on Nebula, so it would be a bad deal for me. It’s almost like this analogy doesn’t hold water and we’re comparing apples and oranges.

        Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that there’s a platform that currently puts creators first. Don’t forget that YouTube was that platform once, too, until enshittification brought it to where it is today. I’m hesitant to leap on to a new platform with an extremely limited content offering as I don’t anticipate it will be financially viable in its current form.
