    I wouldn’t be so sure about that lifetime subscription. Companies already started changing the terms of use while subscribed. Sony’s has been removing movies that have been purchased from people’s librarys.

    I understand why you’d be worried but comparing a multi-billion multi-national corporation like Sony to Nebula is like comparing CNN or Fox News to 4ZZZ Community Radio, they are worlds apart

      A lifetime subscription ($500 $300*) is roughly the price of 17 10 yearly subscriptions ($30). How many years do you think Nebula will remain as good as it is now? You should probably think of some of that money as being a donation and not a guaranteed product.

      For some people, that’s probably fine. The service might have given them $300 worth of value already, so buying it’s a no-brainer.

      * with any(?) referral link, see comments below

        you see $500? says 300 to me:

        but yeah would need to really love nebula to get value out of the lifetime subscription and their mission is a good one so i think saying you’re half subscribing half donating would be accurate

          Double checked, and now it looks like I’ve got a referral cookie somehow. $300 is probably easy to get if you click through from anyone promoting it.

          But if I open the join page in an incognito session, the price is $500.

      At the risk of sounding cynical. I also wouldn’t trust any company to stay fair forever.
