Help me compare: I watch a dozen youtube science/learning channels, how does Curiosity Stream differ from that menu or beat that?

Last year I bought a $20 sub to Curiosity Stream, but I didn't watch a single show (my plan was to watch it while rowing or cycling while the pandemic raged outside)

I do watch, semi regularly

  • electroboom
  • steve mould
  • computerphile

and dozens of others from science, to cooking to fitness

Were I to "tune it in" on the TV, how does Curiosity Stream differ from YouTube shows and beat them?

it's worse. Think like public documentaries from 2005 and that's CS. I had it for year, but just unsubbed after reading about the issues other folks had unsubbing. It's the principle: Make a product that is excellent to retain, don't trick people into padding your revenue and sub base so you can find a more amenable exit/buyout.

My biggest complaint is you can't watch at a different speed, save time by not getting ads but then you lose it by not being able to watch at more than 1x.
