Well, this sucks.
YouTube's new advertising prompts make free-tier streaming unusable. But it's okay, I have a Nebula account!
All the smaller devices I own (an Android phone and two iPads) are too old to run the Nebula app. But it's okay, they have a website!
The Nebula website freezes streaming with annoying frequency. It's unusable.
So... screw it. I'm not buying new goddamned hardware just to play videos while cooking and cleaning up. Not happening, that's it, I quit.
