I love many of the creators. The app itself is well-written. The problem? The algorithm.
It’s bad enough that the Home tab is full of stuff they want you to watch, rather than anything you yourself have chosen.
Fine. I’ll tap the Library tab EVERY TIME I USE THE APP. But then it just shows one row of the latest episodes you want to see. Tap again to see a vertical list. So now two taps just to get to what you wanted.
But, oh, that’s not enough! No, now they shove Dracula’s Ex-Girlfriend in *your library* even though you never selected it. AND YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT OR HIDE IT. It is there forever, like the time Apple shoved that U2 album down everybody’s throat. Ugh.
“But you’re used to this: Facebook and Instagram and Twitter/X and TikTok all do this!”, they say. Ah, true, but I PAY FOR NEBULA. I don’t pay for those. I am the customer if I pay for it. Aren’t I? I guess not.
But wait, there’s more. If you just accept the default Home tab, then it invariably shows you lots of war (“Modern Conflict”) and total Climate destruction (“Jet Lag The Game” and “The Getaway”). What could be more fun than killing people and flying and driving hundreds or thousands of miles —for a game. Completely tone deaf.
I won’t be renewing.
