I'm currently streaming YouTube on the TV as I type this.
It's where all the good documentary and factual content has gone lately.

Nebula exists.
That’s just fancy YouTube
Sadly with less reliable service.
And their app is a pos
Pure documentary is curiosity stream.
If there was a viable option, I'd use it.
I think by this point, the only option is breakup and mandatory federation with independent frontends, service providers all competing against each other. They have a monopoly.
Google would argue they don't really have a monopoly since they compete against streaming, but that's a malicious, pre-information age interpretation of monopoly power.
Damn here I thought everyone gets to have only 24hrs a day.
Because you can block ads. I don’t want to watch anything with ads, my free time is worth more than that.
The thing is if, you couldn't block ads on YT, I would probably get premium, there is no way I am watching their ads.
Note, I do subscribe to multiple "indie" content creators that I enjoy, but I am not watching ads on YT (or anywhere else).
I would never pay to a service that is privacy intrusive.
The more we sub, the more they’ll make everything a sub. They’re eating your wallet with this crap.
I actually don't mind the subscription model for content creators. I just wish Google (or any platform owner) would get a smaller cut due to a more competitive environment.
It's the only place that hosts retrospectives of old games that I will never play, but love to learn about. :(
I have my TV connected to my desktop to use the best extensions with YT and other sites. Steam + TV is nice too.
