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.

Just a few weeks a ago “Real Engineering” relased a video about how Nebula works. Literally talking about the streaming protocol used and the technical aspects of it. Nebula is definity pirateable with ffmpeg if you properly edit the m3u8 file, from what I can tell.
But seriously, I’m with most other people here … just pay for it for a month an cancel. It’s a really great platform and I’d feel bad ripping from them. I actually bought the $300 lifetime membership the other day.
If you have some means of recieving donations, PM me, I’ll send you the $5 for a month.
the fact that they offer a lifetime subscription tells me that they don’t care about sustainability and will disappear within a decade
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.
They’re probably just leveraging the good will they have as the plucky underdog. I personally found the app clunky and that the videos loaded really slowly, but I don’t blame them for offering a lifetime subscription.
Either that, or it’s just price anchoring and they weren’t expecting anyone to spend $300, but it made the other options look cheaper
Don’t do them like that. This is the type of service our money should actually be going to, for now.
This. Generally speaking, If we don’t support small businesses, large corporations win and we all lose.
I understand pirating from Netflix and such, cause they’re big companies and their service is shit, but Nebula is run by creators and you support them directly with a subscription. So if you have $5 at your disposal I would highly encourage paying for Nebula.
Nebula should have a free trial period.
what creator are you looking for exactly
Can the comments please stop finding a reason to pirate? Not everyone needs reasoning to pirate.
It’s exactly 0 comments reasoning piracy 🙃 what the hell is going on? Are bots influencing my opinion not to pirate stuff??
(Also, since when pirates are so chicken, everyone has their own reasons and they shouldn’t be shamed for this or something. I thought it’s piracy lemmy, not a leagally obtained content lemmy)
At the end of any pirated content there is some guy that actually “ripped” it. Someone that probably payed for it that then decided to share the copy with the world.
I think this community is generally very piratey and not controlled by bots. If you can’t find anyone willing ripping a specific source of content … well, that’s quite telling.
You want Nebula content to be piratable? Go rip and seed it.
Nobody suggested re-uploading, everyone suggested respecting authors, and the platform
All you pirates in the comments are a disgrace. It matters not the intentions or quality of the people who built the paywall.
I agree, even though I stand accused. I’m looking into ways to pirate nebula. All of it. Their entire DB is only around 30TB.
But when I do, won’t share for now. A pirate can respect and spare a worthy cause from being plundered.
