Haven't heard anything bad about Nebula

It's pretty cheap

What about it? It's directly supporting the creators

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's fine. It's just that in my financial position I can't afford that.

A fair argument. I haven't subscribed yet either since we're trying to save money right now. Once we can though, it seems to be a great next step over YouTube

Yeah, I've never checked it out, but a lot of content creators I like use it. I'd like to be able to support them with a subscription instead of using YouTube and blocking all their ads. For the moment, I can't though.

But, I do wish there were a free video platform that competed with YouTube and that wasn't controlled by a trillion dollar company. Because YouTube has no competition, they completely screw video creators when it comes to Content ID and copyright strikes. They also make the site suck for people who just want to watch videos, bombarding them with ads and so-on. The DMCA is a bad law, but what Google put into place on YouTube goes far beyond what the DMCA requires, and makes it way too easy for rich people / companies to suppress anything they don't like, while making it difficult for their users. If YouTube had a real free-videos competitor, it would push both of them to offer features that users and/or video uploaders wanted.
