Nebula, which is a no-ads subscription-supported alternative YouTube, founded by YouTube creators and run on a sorta co-op model, gave me a 1 week guest pass to give away (I am a paying subscriber). Anybody I know want it?

There's less on Nebula than YouTube and the discovery isn't as good, but 1 week *is* enough time to shotgun all Lady Emily's videos and watch the RiffTrax version of "night of the living dead".

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
The main reason I'm interested in Nebula because it's a way to watch videos I like ad-free without having to fight against the whims of a megacorp or giving them money
@phi1997 The funny thing is I pretty much pay for nebula then watch nebula contributors on YouTube, and I'm like "well at least I'm paying them right?". Actually that might not be valid because idk if nebula creators get paid if the videos don't get watched
