With the glorious return of Tom Scott, I finally signed up to Nebula yesterday, and am pleasantly surprised at how many of my YT regulars are already on there. £30 for a year, no ads, and an Apple TV app.
Which is £30 more than I paid YouTube, because the family plan is a ridiculous amount of money.
What is a scare screen?
Something like: “You’re using an adblocker and we don’t like it. You can’t view any videos.”
They usually go away after updating your Adblocker.

is his shirt a label, a seasoning, or a command?
Yes
Yes.....yes.
So is the scare screen when the UI flicker's and I get a pop up saying "why you experiencing interruptions"?. I use brave browser
I found that logging out solves it
If you don't visit YouTube...
A big chunk of ad revenue goes to content creators, so you at least support them.
Yeah, of all the subscription services I don't think YouTube is very egregious. The people you watch earn way more from you that way than watching ads.
