Nebula's odd, everything's higher quality than YouTube, but that's not the same as saying all this quality content is interesting. There's some accounts that are all gems, but most of them (Real Engineering, Legal Eagle, Wendover/Half as Interesting) are also on YouTube.

Occasionally you do find something real good, like this video which contextualizes why Hawaiian and Alaskan airlines are merging:

…But it's hard to do it consistently, because again, worse discovery.

@mcc I've been meaning to check out nebula, since it seems almost all of my fav youtube essayists are also on Nebula. If nothing else there's a bunch of Lindsay Ellis stuff on there that isn't on youtube, right?

I feel like you should probably give it to someone you know better, or at least someone less likely to forget all about it and waste a big chunk of the one week trial playing Stardew Valley, but if there's literally no better candidates, I'd be interested.

@mcc I would not call Nebula even a sorta co-op: medium.com/@cameron-...

They do mandate that only creators on the platform can own stock though, but it's hardly an egalitarian co-op style venture.

Still, better than most of tech though, and certainly a better deal than YouTube (as the link says).
