  It’s good to see alternatives. I am not at the point where I need to see online videos badly enough that I’d pay for it- but it’s good to know that it exists.

  Same. I mostly watch a handful of channels:

  • various TLDR channels
  • Morning Brew - not a fan of the hosts, so I’ll catch maybe one/week
  • LegalEagle - anything not about celebs
  • the Friday Checkout
  • NotJustBikes and other city infra-related channels - they don’t post often though
  • RealLifeLore
  • Wendover/HalfAsInteresting - the host annoys me a bit, but the content is usually pretty good

  There’s a ton of nonsense there that I don’t like, but now that I found a set of channels I do like, I mostly just look in the “library” tab so I don’t have to see the other crap.

    Knowing better and Philosophy Tube are both rather good as well. I do miss Casual Criminalist from YouTube, otherwise Nebula has my bases covered.

      I think it’s a shame that CGP Grey and Philip from Kurzgesagt both bailed early on. I never quite got why, but I guess Nebula for them was just canibalizing their lucrative youtube/patreon business.

      Haven’t tried either one, I’ll give them a follow. Thanks!

    I also hate the UI tbh. I want the front page to be my subscriptions. Instead you get a weird horizontal scrolling panel on a secondary tab. I wish I could get an inbox, RSS style, so I could either watch them or skip/mark as watched.

    Nebula also suffers from the homepage being cluttered with old videos that are no longer relevant. For example I don’t care to watch news and tech videos from 2022.

      Yeah, it could certainly be better. However, I did find some interesting old videos from someone who posts infrequently, so there’s that.
