Increasing numbers of content creators are also on Nebula these days. Maybe that's going to be the paid ad-free Youtube of the future.

- wintermutestwin 3y agoI am much more worried about the huge trove of culturally and historically significant content being locked in an ad infested garden than I am about today's content creators.
- mcv 3y agoMaybe we shouldn't have entrusted that trove of culturally and historically significant content to a big faceless advertising company. Somehow we always end up doing that because they lure us in with free goodies before changing the deal.
- sofixa 3y agoFor that they'd need to improve their UX. I pay for it (on top of YT Premium) for the principle, and try to use it as much as possible, but it's often a forced experience. For instance some videos refuse to load, downloads sometimes don't work, notifications are unreliable, there are no playlists so creators create whole new channels for a special series which is hard to keep track of, etc.
- unmole 3y agoExcept for the fact they the UX of Nebula is strictly worse compared to YouTube Premium. The YouTube algorithm actually keeps my homepage fairly relevant. Nebula on the other hand has no way to customise the homepage which invariably has the kind of content I specifically want to avoid. And that's not even going into the aweful CDN. I can stream YouTube at 4K without a hitch but Nebula can't even manage HD without getting stuck.
- leereeves 3y agoI much prefer the UX of Nebula. I want a variety of content on the homepage, not fifty variations of the last ten videos I watched. Technologically they are ten years and ten billion dollars behind, of course, but they can catch up with enough customers.
- unmole 3y agoI'd much rather see fifty variations of woodworking than parochial political content or people pulling a YouTube face. Different strokes.
