When I was in Montréal I was fortunate enough to cycle around for a day with one of the engineers who designed much of their recent bicycle infrastructure.
First of all, if you don’t wanna watch it, you could just…not watch it? No need to vice signal by announcing it to the whole world.
But second, you don’t pay for Nebula to watch this one video. You pay for Nebula as a way to support the dozens of creators on the platform, including many of the best urbanist channels including the one whose community you are currently visiting. And to get this and all the other Nebula-exclusive videos on the platform, most of which are merely addendums to public YouTube videos, but some of which are full exclusives. And to get all the videos ad-free.
Why would we not expect someone to share a video from a payed platform ? Maybe the problem is the expectation; nowhere in any rule of any kind is it written that Lemmy is to share Free content only.
Do you suggest to add some kind of “[Paywall]” to the title of the post as community often do with news articles requiring subscription for example ?
How about in the top of the initial comment he made “This video cannot be accessed until you subscribe to …” Then show where to pay for it or something. Not hard, less misleading, all around supports the creators even more
However the problem here is to have the idea to do so. It seems obvious to you, but I can’t see why. Nothing told OP to do anything for posting that link (neither Feddit.nl neither this community rules). He may just not had the idea to precise that this content was needing a paid subscription to be accessed
Less misleading
You know, Nebula is where NJB post most of their videos (if you watched any of his video on Youtube in the last 2 years you should know).
It’s just logical at some point to get Nebula content shared on this very community.
And yes I can’t access it because I haven’t got Nebula subscription. But I’ll still enjoy discussing about it, see what others thought about it, the good, the bad, what’s around the subject… Like any discussion about a recent movie or Netflix series that I obviously need to pay to watch; do we need to precise that it isn’t free ?
If you didn’t know it wasn’t free, once you open any Nebula link, it will be written in big. All explained and understandable by everyone. I can’t see where anyone have been mislead
This kind of content is fully expected and there is no rule to tell us to do something about it for now
You gotta be out of your God damn mind if you think I’m gonna pay to watch some dork ride their bike around.

So don’t watch it, what is the problem ?
The problem is OP not having a disclaimer that the video is not free. Its one thing to post free videos, no one expects a paid video on Lemmy.

Not hard, that’s true, I agree 100%
