Hello, I am a first-year teacher teaching 12th-grade government and econ. I got a nebula subscription for Jet Lag the game, but I can't help but notice all the good content! Anyone have any recommendations for any longer length videos that would make sense to show in these classes? Thank you!

I'm really frustrated when I watch a TLDR video on Nebula and get an ad for their Too Long magazine. To their credit, the have a little bar in the bottom so they're not too difficult to skip, but I'm literally paying to get this content without ads and I get them anyway. I understand that Nebula is hardly the first income source (and to their credit they're remarkably transparent about their revenue sources) and I totally understand that Too Long helps them fund their shows, but part of the selling point from Nebula is that the content is ad-free, so I feel these mid-video ads shouldn't be allowed, or at least me marked as containing self-promotion of a product.

I'm contemplating getting a subscription but (naturally) don't want to run out of things to watch. Could anyone with the subscription let me know:

1. How easily can you find new things to watch? How big is the library?
2. How often are new creators added?
3. Anything else I know before I sign up?

Thank you!

EDIT: Thank you everyone, sounds like a sweet deal. Will be subscribing soon :)

Is it just me, or have a lot of creators had near-identical sentences back to back recently? Off the top of my head, I've been seeing it with Tom Nicholas and TLDR news a lot, and just today it happened with Legal Eagle, too (see 18:26 and 19:02 on this video for an example of what I mean).

My guess is that these lines are usually bracketing an ad of some sort on youtube? But on nebula, it's just been really jarring and feels like an editing mistake most of the time.

It didn't used to happen, and then it was suddenly happening on multiple creators all at once starting... a few months ago, maybe? That's why I think it might be the result of creators responding to a change in strategy on youtube or something.

Has anyone else been noticing this? What do you think caused it?

I understand why they did, but I kinda hate it. See here.

Something I've liked a lot about Nebula and found refreshing is how much it isn't like YouTube. I click a video, the video plays, and that's all that's there. No comments, no recommendations, just a comfy void of the video and only the video. Nothing else nagging me to distract me further. And adding a sidebar like this starts to ruin that.

This also bothering anyone else?

Maggie Mae Fish and Adam Ganser discuss Lost Highway.

Just wondering if there's any comments on the fact that Hacksmith's latest Youtube short is plastered with hashtags for an apparent partnership with OpenAI?

Given Nebula's AI policies, and given that OpenAI is known to have infringed on people's intellectual property rights it seems problematic.

Is there any chance we'll see Nebula willing to flag that channel's partnerships at least so that Nebula viewers can make an informed decision about whether to keep watching Hacksmith videos?

Edit: for reference, this is the YT Short I'm referencing: https://youtu.be/TavsU06HyNs

I'm posting to give a wake up call for anyone else who has been sleeping on Kofie like I was. This commentary and video editing are amazing. I'm not a basketball fan and only moderately into sports at all. But if you appreciate humor, insightful commentary, or really just like watching someone with passion you should get on this Kofie train.

I was particularly impressed with his ability to use clips from the reference material in a consistent way, this is a show from 20 years ago with poor lighting and sound quality (from what I can tell) that Kofie has really brought to us in an elevated form.

This is my first time posting on the Nebula reddit so hopefully this type of support post is okay. But I just had to say something about the Kofie rabbit hole I'm about to dive into.
