  But some categories are completely devoid of content because its an invite only platform

    Yes, that’s how you keep AI slop out.

    Suit yourself but I think it makes Nebula have better quality. It’s quality over quantity.

    I didn’t have an invite i just joined through Jacob Geller’s YouTube channel

      Invite for the creators.

      • Banana@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        That makes sense

    For the creators?

  Or means.tv

  • mech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    That looks just like nebula (also a creator-owned platform), but with exclusively communist content.

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

      Is nebula not a subscription only platform?

      source

      • FrederikNJS@piefed.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        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.

        Yes.

  Nebula is very US-centric in content, payment and organisation. I would love a more international approach.

  • Danquebec@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Yea. It has always interested me, but I’ve never subscribed as I could only ever watch its documentaries alone, being the only person who understand English well enough in my family.

  • mech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    True. For less US-centric content there are only the streaming services of different country’s public TV stations.
    But they’re financed by national taxes or fees, so they limit access to within the country.

  I have been on the edge for a while now, I’ll probably end up at least trying it after my vacation. Do you really think it’s worth the subscription price?

  source

  • FrederikNJS@piefed.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    To me it’s definitely worth it. Many of my favorite creators are already on there. I get exclusives and early releases, high definition, and no ads. And the nice fuzzy feeling of knowing that my views result in the creator receiving some actual money.

    I still use YouTube quite a lot… But I find that I’m using Nebula more and more as time goes by.

      Alright, thanks for taking the time to comment. As I said, I’m pretty much already going to give it a go, but hearing people’s thoughts on it is appreciated. The thing about actually knowing you’re contributing to paying the people whose content you like does sound appealing.

    Depends what you want out of it.
    I’m not aware of any content on nebula that isn’t also on YouTube.
    So if you’re happy with the YouTube experience, probably not.

    I joined when Tom Scott started posting his videos there one week earlier than YouTube, and offered a discount code for 50% off for the first year.
    1 year for $30 is worth it to me.

    I was sick of clicking on an interesting-looking video in the YT feed that turned out to be AI slop or rage bait.
    And the autoplay of the next video the algorithm chooses annoyed me, too. YT was also the last Google service I still used, so ditching it felt good.
    Plus, my favorite creator Real Time History thanks people watching on nebula at the end of each video, saying “We couldn’t do it without you”, which makes me all fuzzy inside.

      There’s a lot of content that’s just on nebula not YouTube, but it’s mostly long form stuff. There’s a whole section at the top titled “Only on Nebula”.

      source
    • lemmysir@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah, I think YouTube will be the last Google service I let go also, a lot of content I enjoy is the exclusively there as far as I know. But I have also decided to get rid of Google, meta and such as thoroughly as I can, so I do hope some combination of nebula, peertube and/or whatever else google free I can find will suffice. I am mostly annoyed by the similar things you were when it comes to yt. Thanks for the Tom Scott shoutout, I wasn’t aware he started making new stuff. You’d think YouTube algorithms would let me know lol.

    Do you watch a lot of YouTube and at least a few are saying they are on Nebula? Then absolutely

    I got it, then saw that its app sucked, then stopped using it for months despite having a valid subscription, then found the Gray Jay app, then found that I can queue all my videos together seamlessly in an excellent player and now slowly I’m watching more and more Nebula content and cutting out more and more YouTube content.

    Nebula has a lot of stuff I like (long form, deep dive, factual, analytic videos). Now that my videos across platforms can be in one place, its easier to accept the more limited selection on Nebula. As I find more stuff on Nebula and unsubscribe from more stuff on YouTube, my whole video stream diet is getting better and better. The value of Nebula is slowly increasing for me. I wouldn’t have continued at all or renewed my subscription if I was using their default app and going between multiple apps for my video streams; and if that was the case it had been much easier for me to stick with YouTube and Newpipe app.

  What is nebula? Is it better or worse than yt?

  source

  • mech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It’s a creator-owned video hosting site.
    So no ads, no tracking, no algorithms designed to maximize engagement, no clickbait.
    But it’s subscription only with a monthly or yearly cost, with all money going towards the creators and hosting cost.
    The content is curated manually, so there’s a lot less than on YouTube, but the average quality is much higher IMO.

  Expect it’s a empty devoid worthless cuck club of invite only nothingness.

  There’s literally no upside to the concept.
