When I was in Montréal I was fortunate enough to cycle around for a day with one of the engineers who designed much of their recent bicycle infrastructure.

      First of all, if you don’t wanna watch it, you could just…not watch it? No need to vice signal by announcing it to the whole world.

      But second, you don’t pay for Nebula to watch this one video. You pay for Nebula as a way to support the dozens of creators on the platform, including many of the best urbanist channels including the one whose community you are currently visiting. And to get this and all the other Nebula-exclusive videos on the platform, most of which are merely addendums to public YouTube videos, but some of which are full exclusives. And to get all the videos ad-free.

      That’s not the video. This is supplementary material to that one. I believe he references this video a few times in that one (and he definitely references “the main video” many times in this one).

                I liked the youtube videos. I was scrolling All and went to watch this one (thinking it was the youtube one) and i could not watch it. Now im pissed at you for not warning me “hey you need to pay if you want to watch this video” in the title/description/comments

                  So you got triggered by a paywall and instead of closing the browser/tab you decided to waste more time to come back here and carry on a conversation bitching about being trigger by the paywall.

                  You’re pissed at me for linking to a video by Not Just Bikes on the platform the creator of Not Just Bikes partially owns and which is the only source available for that video, on the Not Just Bikes community? Dude pull your fucking head in. If you don’t want to watch it, then just don’t watch it. There’s absolutely no call for the arseholish behaviour you’ve been exhibiting in this thread.

                  If you’re brand new to NJB, then sincerely, welcome. Don’t watch this video, it’s not aimed at you. There’s a reason he only put it up on Nebula. I’d highly recommend checking out more of the videos available on his public YouTube channel. I might recommend starting with his video on “stroads” or why suburbia is a bad place for kids to grow up.

                  There are also great videos on similar topics from the channels “CityNerd”, “City Beautiful”, and “RM Transit", all of which are also on Nebula in addition to YouTube. And “Oh the Urbanity” has a bit more of a liberal (as opposed to progressive) streak, but are largely good for urbanism as well, on YouTube only.

                  As far as Nebula goes, you should absolutely not sign up for it unless you’re already a fan of at least some of the creators on the platform. It’s basically like a super-patreon where you pay to support a larger number of creators under one payment, in exchange for exclusive videos, videos earlier, and no ads. Aside from the excellent suite of urbanist creators, there are also news channels (TLDR News), videos about people’s professions (lawyer Legal Eagle, doctor Medlife Crisis, therapist Georgia Dow), media analysis (Lindsay Ellis—exclusively, since the harassment campaign got severe enough to drive her off YouTube—Sarah Z, Patrick H Willems), games shows (travel show Jet Lag, Yugioh gameshow Chaos Corp, game theory experiment Tom Scott’s Money), among many other subjects and channels. Nebula is good deal if only two or three of the channels on it interest you, and you want to financially support them, avoid ads, and/or get early/exclusive content. If there aren’t, you shouldn’t feel bad about not subscribing, but there’s still no call for that sort of attitude towards it.

    At one point Jason talks about how tragic it is that it takes a death for the council to do something about making a road safer.

    Which is definitely true, but gods even that makes me wish I had a council as good as the ones in Montreal. Brisbane City Council doesn’t even give a fuck when there is a death. There can be a cyclist die on a road where safety advocates have been saying for years there’s a dire need for safety upgrades, and they still won’t even countenance improving the safety. They’d rather spend council resources repeatedly removing the ghost bikes set up at the location memorialising the killed cyclist.
