I know Nebula is not exactly open source, but it is pitched as a creator-controlled (or, at least a creator-centric) platform.
YouTube is my main platform of media consumption, and I would prefer to find other avenues that are not quite as monolithic.
Has anyone here tried Nebula? Is it worth it, and is there anything sketchy about it I should be aware of?
I originally dropped Nebula due to them allowing the channel “Second Thought” on the service.
While this particular creator may have been good in the beginning, over the years they have devolved into a source of tankie propaganda. The first video I saw from their channel was titled “Alternatives to capitalism”, which I had hoped would go through a few alternatives and list out pros, cons, and history. Instead, the video was summed up as “Amerikkka bad and therefore capitalism bad”, with 0 mention of any actual alternatives to capitalism as an economic system. Going through more videos showed that this was par for the course.
I was disappointed that Nebula would allow this creator on their platform, as they advertise themselves as a hub of educational video content. Thankfully, Second Thought had a very angry falling out with Nebula over Second Thought’s celebration of Hamas’s attacks on Israel. To clarify, they were supporting Hamas, not Palestine.
Recently I’ve started other Youtubers that have joined the platform. Combining that with Second Thought leaving is making me seriously consider signing up again.
Second Thought is awesome I loled that you left because of him 😄
