Oh don't worry, I'm there, I'll happily give money to them

This is the future - independent creator channels and collectives. In truth we consumers might end up paying slightly more, but vastly more of what's collected will go into the hands of the actual creators and creatives than to a bunch of suits who do nothing.

I am also a Nebula subscriber and preferentially view creators there if the content is also on YT. I purchased a lifetime subscription to Nebula; I hope I get my money's worth.

My YT subscription page (https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions) is also just what I've subscribed to, in reverse-chronological order. Unfortunately, that's not all the YT I consume, plenty of after-video recommendations, and sometimes I intentionally visit the main page, which is all algorithm. I do need to work on that -- near-ending algorithmic recommendations are probably not the best thing to spend my limited life time on.
