I wonder if the creators are aware of this. I have been considering replacing youtube with something healthier like this or Nebula. I suppose Nebula it is.
You could torrent the stuff that's on there and decide if it's worth your money beforehand
Is there a radarr/sonarr that could work for this?
I found nebula to be very worth it and only let my subscription lapse due to unemployment
I'd also suggest plebs.app for exposure to the nostr ecosystem but not on its own, just as one of multiple places to post
Ah dammit... Curiosity Stream was the only streaming service I'm still actually paying for. I dumped everything else for raising prices and enshittifying their services.
