Nebula is trying to compete, they seem like a good alternative to support.
- Kye 3y agoNebula isn't really a competitor. It's more of a life raft for a select few YouTubers. A competitor would let people outside a group of already successful channels upload stuff.
- lmm 3y agoA competitor has got to be a sustainable business first. Opening the floodgates to host everyone's videos can be a very quick way to burn all your money.
- kelnos 3y agoNot to mention their moderation burden is way down if they only accept people who are known quantities and are unlikely to get them in trouble by posting copyrighted material or other problematic things.
- Kye 3y agoTo be clear: I think it's fine to be exclusive. A bunch of YouTubers got together to make a backup in case YouTube did what YouTube often does. If they ever open it, I'll call it a competitor. Right now, it just isn't unless you have some unconventional definition of competitor. They're trying to survive YouTube, not beat it or even operate in the same space. Nebula is currently a backup for a (large) niche of YouTube.
- LargeTomato 3y agoDo you think Tik Tok is a YouTube competitor? Netflix? You can compete with YouTube without cloning YouTube.

- LargeTomato 3y ago> A competitor would let people outside a group of already successful channels upload stuff. Why compete with YouTube on YouTube's terms? You cannot beat on e.g. storage costs. There may be a market niche for a smaller, more cost-efficient platform that pays established creators a bigger fit than YouTube can.
- Racing0461 3y agonebula is like one youtube channel being hosted off a server. a more comparable example would be rumble that pretty much has each major feature of youtube on its own.
