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 use both YT and Nebula. Nebula is for when you know what you want to watch, like those creators you already know from YT, and you follow them on Nebula to get the ad-free version. YT is for when I don’t know what I want, just mindlessly scroll until something catches my attention.

    The YT algorithm doesn’t always work, but it’s still likely the most effective way to discover new content to my taste so far. And when it doesn’t work, all I see is just crap.

    So, why would someone say Nebula is less interesting than YT? Nebula may not be your cup of tea, but it’s always someone’s cup of tea. Meanwhile there are tons of trash on YT.

    My suggestion is to use both and for the right purpose.

      Read my comment more carefully. There’s very little interesting content doesn’t mean that there is no interesting content or that there isn’t interesting content on there. There is content on there that is interesting. There is just very little of it for the money compared to paying for any other streaming service. And for a service that claims to be a documentary streaming service, most of the videos on there that I saw are only a few minutes long. Not what I’d class as documentaries.

      If you want to support creators that you like then just subscribe to their Patreon or use their Kofi link or something like that.

      If you want to remove ads then get an adblocker or pay for YouTube premium.
