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?
“better” is subjective. There’s a pie, and creators get a portion of that pie depending on their portion of the volume of total views. It’s a pretty fair and sustainable way for the company to pay creators decently.
So they do get paid by your personal views, but your subscription isn’t individually divided. Every subscription is.
The better part comes from, they get paid more per view than from YouTube.
From what I’m reading, the pie is just my subscription and watch time. The language is confusing though, I may be wrong.
