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 like it. I watch a ton of channels from YouTube on science or tech or media that are on nebula so it works well for me. It reduces my YouTube usage significantly which I’m happy about. Plus it’s ad free and channels usually cut out the sponsored segments which is huge. The service is not perfect but the apps have improved a lot over time. I’m glad it supports the creators I watch but even without that it’s been good. I just wish Chanel discovery was better but otherwise I’m a fan.
