    Nebula is amazing and I would highly encourage any urbanist to sign up for it. It’s only like $30 per year.

      If they had anti clickbait policies, then maybe. Until then I look at their video feed in disgust and close the tab. I really don’t need a paid YouTube with all its garbage content.

        I can’t say I disagree with you. The thumbnails and titles are sometimes a bit clickbaity. But they don’t let anyone join the site as a creator unless they have faith in the actual content of the videos. They’re creators who sometimes use clickbaity thumbnails because that’s just essential to surviving the YouTube algorithm, and the Nebula version usually just takes the same title and thumbnail from YouTube. But it’s never the sort of clickbait where a clickbaity thumbnail was used to trick you into watching actual garbage content—the content is always high quality.

        I wish they’d tone it down for the Nebula version, but that’s an extra amount of work for honestly very little extra value, so I understand why they don’t.

          Oh. So they’re often just double dipping with the same content? That’s even worse.
