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.

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.
