With youtube blocking adblockers, maybe it’s time to look into alternatives and start migrating videos there as well. Any viable Fediverse alternatives that’s mature enough to contend with youtube?

So nebula seems to be flying under people’s radar, but seems like the obvious option at the moment with many you tubers there already.

It’s subscription based. I’ve got one. I really hope they find a way to join the fediverse in some way.

I'm weirded out by the fact that they offered a "lifetime" subscription for rather cheap. That's not something you do if you want to get indefinite funding for your video platform (hosting video is expensive).

Huh. Didn’t see that. Though it’s not the first time I’ve seen this attempted. I’d guess it’s an idea that spread through certain circles of people interested in long term sustainable services.

From what I've heard from Linus Tech Tips, every creator on it owns a bit of Nebula. They get paid from views and when the service stops being profitable they cash out and give every creator their cut.

Yea it's part of my attraction to the platform/service ... the commitment to creator ownership. All of the youtubers I've seen talk about nebula as "my streaming service ...".
