    I wouldn’t give Google $32.99/m for YouTube, no matter how slowly they increased the price, that’s utterly ridiculous.

    I’ve used Curiosity Stream and Nebula before, would happily go back.

      Unfortunately nebula has started blacklisting creators they dont agree with, just cancelled my 2 year sub to them because they deleted second thoughts channels. Who was the sole reason I paid for that sub.

        Elaborate. Why were they banned? If it was kiddie creepers or nazi shit or “not fascists but #1 with fascists” shit like heated-gamer-moment I don’t blame them for that.

      People are still subscribed to Netflix, even though the price keeps going up, even if they don’t watch it. People still have multiscreen subscriptions, even if only one person ever watches it. People still pay their monthly fee for a cable subscription.

      I upgraded to a Family subscription so I could watch my YouTube without Ads and I could watch YouTube with my brother without Ads and it was only a few dollars more.

      If Google increased the price gradually, a dollar at a time, I would probably not have noticed, like the mythical frog in the cookpot. The fact that they increased the price and clamped down on Ad Blockers at the same time bought media attention to the price rise.
