It's replaced what was traditional TV in our home. We watch movies, and youtube as if it were tv. Old TV is now either 24 hour garbage news, reality shows, or similar nonesense.

Same in our house. Most youtube channels we watch have weekly releases which we watch similar to traditional TV episode releases.

        If you click the timestamp you can read it. Maybe there's a Karma limit, though.

        I can just read them with options set in user settings.

        Laura Kampf and Jet Lag. not sure why they were flagged. The former is a DIY channel, not sure what the latter is.

There are two modes of watching TV in my opinion: intentional and casual Intentional: look for a certain show/movie, e.g. the weekly episode of House MD, Lost, Friends, HBO, ... -> This is the streaming war between Netflix, HBO, Disney, ... Casual: You turn on the tv with the aim to just browse around and relax, and get something accidentally interesting/amusing -> Youtube is king and more or less the only option here (and a bit of Nebula) The two together is the traditional TV

  omg nebula is incredible. i just subbed like 2 months ago and i feel like ive been guzzling from a firehouse.
  - scarab92 3y ago
    I’ve always been a bit unsure of what to make of nebula. A lot of content is low effort edu-taintainment that seems to be little more than Wikipedia in video form. More original and higher integrity creators like Veritasium, CGP Grey, Engineering explained don’t seem to be involved (actually I think CGP was but left without an explaination). Maybe this is just a fundamental problem of bundling. It makes more sense for lower value content but less sense for higher value content.

      The original founder's list was Dave Wiskus (current CEO), CGP Grey, and a guy behind Kurzgesagt, but yes, the latter two distanced themselves pretty quickly. I don't think there's a single even semi-popular edu-tainment channel that wasn't at least approached by Nebula, but of course not every creator is interested. If I had to guess why, I'd say it's a tradeoff between Patreon/Nebula. You can have both, but you can only prioritize one of them, making the proposal far less interesting to those that already have a sizeable Patreon income.

        Youtube itself is getting so good at monetization, with more people getting Premium, that it's no longer worth it to pursue other channels at all.

Same here. We have the benefit of a nice projector, so we have biweekly movie nights with friends; when it's just us we'll fire up YouTube and watch whatever tickles out fancy. Last night it was Vewn animated shorts and music videos by group_inou, here's a favorite: https://youtu.be/JP2728BtJ34?si=UGkXJWJFGdy8muyu https://youtu.be/JP2728BtJ34?si=UGkXJWJFGdy8muyu

> Old TV is now either 24 hour garbage news, reality shows, or similar nonesense Take a look at YouTube's trending page. There's clearly a reason for that content on TV.
