Lesser known educational/entertainment video site worth subscribing to?

Question

I am done with Netflix, Hulu etc. Their quality is not good, it is mostly mindless entertainment anyway. In Netflix's case, their documentaries are shitty too.Are there any video services worth subscribing to? Both educational and entertainment? I did some googling, found these so far - https://www.wondrium.com/, https://curiositystream.com/. They seem good, though I am yet to try.Any more? Any diamond in the rough? I am aware of some YouTube channels, but I prefer sites like the two above. Especially indie, smaller teams that I can support, however tiny amount my money is.

If your local library offers Hoopla, Hoopla has a "Great Courses Video BingePass": https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14738022
If you like indie stuff, you should also dig into archive.org. A lot of really good educational content ends up there.

Worth mentioning Nebula [0], which is $10/month to support a large roster of educational (or education-adjacent) creators. The site is "creator-built and creator-owned", according to their homepage, and a number of YouTubers I like and respect have promoted them. No ads, and there's some Nebula-exclusive content which might be interesting as well.[0]: https://nebula.app/
