*Laughs in nebula
You're paying for Nebula. If you don't want ads in YouTube, you can pay for Premium.
I prefer to pay to the creators more than I want to fund a corporation
I agree. My point is that paying for Nebula will not enable ad-free content on YouTube beyond the handful of creators that have content in some form on that platform.
Who said anything about using nebula for any benefit on youtube?
The article you commented on is about ads in YouTube. Without any context, "laughs in nebula" suggests that somehow this is a solution to that problem, so I'm providing some context into this thread.
Fair point
I'm pretty sure nebula is a creator co-op, but I might be getting it mixed up with something else.
Right, which is why I don't mind paying
Nebula has much cheaper pricing than YouTube, and gives creators much more control over their content. I'd rather give my money to them than a company that spends every waking moment thinking about how to screw me and its creators over.
YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music, so the price comparison isn't on equal footing. My only point is that if you don't want the ads, you can remove them without an ad blocker.
But I don't want YouTube Music. I want to watch quality videos without ads where my money benefits creators first, not a corporation first.
So by those metrics, Nebula is still a better bargain for me and a better place to spend my money.
Only one of my YouTube channel subscriptions is on Nebula, so it would be a bad deal for me. It's almost like this analogy doesn't hold water and we're comparing apples and oranges.
Don't get me wrong, it's great that there's a platform that currently puts creators first. Don't forget that YouTube was that platform once, too, until enshittification brought it to where it is today. I'm hesitant to leap on to a new platform with an extremely limited content offering as I don't anticipate it will be financially viable in its current form.
