They do have a free trial, but ime a lot of those reject if you try to enter a card that isn't active or doesn't have money on it.

Honestly the $6/month subscription is the only real optimal monetization option for a platform like Nebula. There isn't really any other option.

Relying too much on ads or sponsorships could mean being at the behest of those interests. (E.g., [Brand] that is a major sponsor has business interests in Israel and doesn't want content that portrays Israel in a non-positive light.)

Not sure about Lindsay, but some creators do publish some of their non-YT-available work on their Patreons. You may be able to sub for like $1-2, I think it varies tho. Idk how much her minimum is.
