  2. Netflix for Nonfiction
    Personally, one solution is to subsrcibe for Nebula + CurisoityStream bundle to support creators (bought 2 subscriptions for me and friend) https://curiositystream.com/?coupon=nebula and use something like PeerTube for the rest of the stuff. Youtube have great catalogue of the lectures and other educational material, so it is still kinda irreplaceable.

    This seems great, and it's open source, too: <a href="https://github.com/yattee/yattee">https://github.com/yattee/yattee</a> And there's a native Mac app! Maybe I'm just getting old, but as I was reading through the list of features this doesn't have, I just got more and more excited. My watch pattern is pretty much watching videos to solve problems or research some particular thing, and I feel like I find most of them through Google or YouTube search. The recommendations _can_ be pretty good, but there's always those clickbaity, completely unrelated ones mixed in, trying to pull me into a totally separate rabbit hole.
