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?

    That’s not really what I’m looking for myself – I’d like a no-log, no-profile YouTube, myself, and that’s not their business model – but that may not be the case for other people, depending upon what they’d want in a YouTube alternative.
