I'm looking for a way to watch recent Nebula plus videos. I only have two short videos that I am looking to watch and I don't think that justifies the cost of a subscription, though I would gladly pay 50p for each video.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.
