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.

      Well, you can navigate de UI freely and watch the first video for free without any account. What else would you need to know the platform? There’s a free trial of Nebula called YouTube. Everything in there except the exclusives. When you’re convinced they have the content you want, it’s 3€/mo so… whatever.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Since you’re open to paying, have a look around the video descriptions of channels like Wendover and HAI, they often have promo links to get nebula for around ~$25-35 for the year, works out to just under $3 per month.

    I’m not aware of anywhere that pirates Nebula content, although I’m aware that floatplane (similar but less popular platform) used to get pirated to YouTube on a regular basis a looooong time ago

    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.

    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.
