YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

It has a bunch of popular YouTube channels.

It doesn't really have a recommendation engine but if you already have a bunch of creators on there it's a cheap way to go as free.

They also have a bunch of Nebula exclusive series, like the guy who makes Not Just Bikes going to cities and trying all their transit in one day.

    I say this as someone with a nebula account and likes to watch stuff from nebula: I strongly dislike their website. My biggest annoyance is I can't go to a specific creator's page and search for videos that I know exist, I have to scroll through their entire history searching for it.

    Search just fully doesn't work on my android TV.

    100% agree that the app needs work, although someone else in this thread mentioned grayjay which can frontend multiple sources including nebula and patreon so I'm trying that now
