        Can’t say, never tried it, just know that it’s creator owned and doesn’t have any AI voiced content.

          Yes. But also entirely ad-free, and with lots of quality creators. And it’s quite a bit cheaper than pretty much any other streaming service.

            I wasn’t criticizing, just checking to make sure I had the right one. I can’t really afford to do even more subscriptions, but maybe one day if I ever get back into the ‘youtube style thing’ in the future.

            Do you also need an invite?

              No need for an invite. Creators need to be invited to join the platform. So not just anyone can post their content there. A thing missing from Nebula is gaming content, like gameplays, etc., but it’s a curated list of creators that put out generally quality stuff.

              I paid for the lifetime subscription assuming it’s been around for like 3 years, I reckon it’ll be around 3 more and I don’t want to deal with another monthly sub. I really like Jet Lag, I find it just the right amount of neurodivergent fun and competitive and chill. I also watch channels like Wendover, Not Just Bikes, and Real Life Lore. They are all on Nebula and I assume my sub is somehow divided up equitably, although I haven’t looked into it. I also hope some of the money I paid goes to people who I haven’t heard of or watched yet but I might like to watch in the future.

              Is it better than YouTube…no. But it doesn’t have to be, it is serving a different use case. I know when I open Nebula that I’ll find something worth watching with no slop and a lot less money going to multinational corporations. They still have servers that need hosting so some money has to go to corporations but I’m not paying a trillion dollar company directly which feels nice.
