I’ve been busy degoogling and thinking of replacing YouTube with these two streaming services. You can get them bundled for $50/yr. Anyone have experience with them, and are they worth it? Thank you!

I subscribe, but I can’t figure out the Nebula business model. I’d love to know if there are any Nebula content creators here who want to share their experiences. Curiosity Stream seems to mainly license content so their model seems straight forward enough.
When I first signed up for it Nebula was a $5/year addon to curiosity stream which wouldn’t even pay for the bandwidth I used in year one. That is not much money to spread around to creators. I assumed this was a short-lived audience grab, but it’s continued (with some variation) for years now. Meanwhile creators are making a lot of Nebula exclusives for what seems like a very small pool of money. As someone who’s been in tech for a long time this seems like a value pump to sell, but that only makes sense if the creators (or least the biggest ones) have some form of equity… if it makes sense at all in the current market.
They might have covered it a bit in this video

This kinda showcases a weakness of Nebula - that is a Nebula video, but sharing the Youtube version is easier. Unless I don’t understand Nebula’s sharing feature?
That said my watching has gradually been shifting from Youtube to Nebula.
Edit: Oh right, the Nebula link. https://nebula.tv/videos/wendover-how-a-small-group-of-creators-built-a-150-million-business/
I don’t think Nebula is meant for “Broadcast yourself” YT where everyone and their mom can create content and get found. I think it’s meant for creators with established audiences.
Nebula is owned by creators of content, maybe not all of them, but definitely at begining.
