I posted this comment[1] in the previous discussion. Reposting here, because I don't like slightly-derivative typefaces that are just FontForge tweaks of a typeface that was designed from the ground up, even less if they have given it an entirely new name. All glyphs are indistinguishable from Source Sans. The 'thin'/'light' weights are kerned further apart (and in my opinion, worse) than in Source Sans. Given these,…

Are there any good paid fonts that you can just buy and use without having to worry about what websites you put them on and how many people view those websites?

It's a little beside the point of the post, but I just want to fly a flag for Nebula: I subscribed solely to get early versions of Jet Lag: The Game, but I'm finding myself watching it more and more! It has many of the channels I would go to YouTube for, but I've also discovered several really good ones that I had never heard of. And it has a similar feel to Kagi, in the sense of "freeing" yourself from the algorithm…

The problem is that ad-blocking makes youtube the best value proposition for users. You get almost all the content of nebula, plus tons more, for free, no ads. Don't get me wrong, Nebula is great (although yt actually has a better profit share believe it or not), but the internet needs to look in the mirror before services like it can actually compete with yt.

The problem is, google is an advertising company now the "ad-blocking makes all content free" is a temporary argument at best. At any rate, I like Nebula's curated content better than the ai-slop/clickbait slop Youtube provides.

Only pet peeve I have is... jeffiot is in Nebula, Tom Scott is in Nebula, Lindsey Ellis is in Nebula... where is f4mi????????

Am I just an uncultured heathen if all of these fonts i see posted here once every few weeks all look precisely the same to me, without a side-by-side? And even with one, they look minutely, irrelevantly different. I do not get eye fatigue nor any other effects people name when looking at ... any of them. Do I just need to absorb more culture and take an art class or five? Am I missing something obvious?

Genuinely, can someone please clue me in?

Waste of time and money on their part. There are more than enough typefaces in this world that look just like this one.

We're apes on a spinning rock... Time and money are both made up, Let the people enjoy their font lol

We shouldn't forget that Google tried to push the whole remote browser stack attestation thing (WEI). That is where they want to go. We shouldn't follow them there.
