Start to use other services like Odysee or Elacity Cinema...

Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.

@rbos @EverlastongOS that's the only thing I don't understand. If it's lifetime sub, how do they fund their costs from your usage after?

Host providers don't have a one-time payment lifetime subscription for bandwidth usage. Eventually you will surpass the bandwidth cost of your lifetime sub and they'd be losing money keeping you. Something doesn't feel right.

The CEO of Nebula actually has two blog posts about the economics of their lifetime memberships.
