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?

    On the note of no personalized homepage - I would highlight that there’s a section of the app called “My Library” which just has all of the video by creators you’ve followed in time ordered series.

    I do think the discoverability of Nebula does suffer for infrequently creating folks. I normally watch LegalEagle after seeing a new video from him pop up on YouTube, as an example.

      good point, and it also does have a “recommended for you” category. I honestly think it’s a pretty good system so long as you keep in mind that it isn’t meant to be what youtube is.
