    Nebula is paid, you can also pay YouTube and remove ads.

    Nebula is cheaper but it also has a very small fraction of the content that YouTube has. So I really don’t see why moving to another paid service with less content is a solution for anyone.

      Nebula has most of the content creators I would pay money to support, and more of that money would be going back to them.

        Nebula has a small fraction of creators. Admittedly a lot of good ones, but not all, or even most. It’s just not a solution for most people.

      Nebula is only cheaper if your currency is the USD

        Also very true, not just USD though. CAD, GBP, AUD as well as others. But yeah in many countries YouTube has market pricing whereas Nebula doesn’t.

      Similar reason as people moving from Spotify to Tidal. The creators get paid more per view on Nebula than on YouTube.

      Besides, I imagine there’s quite an overlap of people that watch the type of content that goes up on Nebula and the people that are willing to pay for the content.

        Neither is YouTube if you pay them. It just strikes me as odd to say “Fuck YouTube for pushing all these ads, I’m switching to Nebula” when Nebula is paid and the only reason they are getting ads on YouTube is because they refuse to pay.

        It’s essentially punishing YouTube for having an ad-supported option at all.

          It’s about incentives. Alphabet is in the biz of serving advertisers. That’s their paying customer. This is baked into their entire ecosystem of products and services. It’s who they are. It shows in everything they do.
