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
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
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.
