SponsorBlock – Skip over sponsorship segments on YouTube

I’d suggest paying for things like https://watchnebula.com/ or a creator’s ad-free patreon version of videos is maybe a better path than trying to game the ad system? Or at least in conjunction with it.

Happily paying for Nebula as a creator-owned platform. I don't feel the slightest shred of guilt for cutting Google as a middleman nor for using an ad-block.

Super happy it's a thing and have thoroughly enjoyed some of the Nebula originals.

How much does Nebula cost? I got to the "enter your card to start your free trial" step, and I still have no clue how much they charge.

On the linked page, under the "start free trial" button, there's this:

> 7-day free trial

> then $5 per month or $50 per year

If Nebula existed before I created SponsorBlock, there is a high chance that I would have never created it. Though, I am happy that I ended up making it though, as there are other annoyances to skip like "interaction reminders" and intros.

I think paying for sponsor-free videos is the best way out.

You can get a much better deal than that. Sign up for Curiosity Stream using a promoted bundle link and you get Nebula free with it. It's only $12/year this way.

Here's one from the LegalEagle guy: https://curiositystream.com/legaleagle/

You are not supposed to buy nebula through the nebula website. You are supposed to buy it through a creator referral link in a bundle with CuriosityStream.

The price on the website has to be higher as to encourage you to use a referral, and to always make you get a "deal" from the sponsorship.

That's true, but my comment was more pointing out that the price is there (it's not prominent though)
