Is Nebula a worthwhile alternative to YT? Less (ideally no) low-effort content, no ads, no comments section.

I agree, had thought of that before - it’s cognitive dissonance along the lines of “do I protect this person (who appears to be a woman but I’m not certain) or not (because they might not be)?” If society moved more to a model of ‘help people who need help’ it might improve matters.
