I sponsor several creators on Patreon, I don't watch early release videos because that would require me to log into Patreon and follow the link.

I've told the creators that I follow that I'm paying to enable them to do what they do, I don't need any more return than that.

I tried Nebula and others, honestly the content was either unappealing, low quality recycled material, or it took too long to find something interesting. The variety of YT is important and I'd also say 30% of my selections are based on duration, fitting the content into my lifestyle as well as my mood.
