  “well now you can go to nebula the site by creators for creators”

  … Who will unironically post the exact same content from their YouTube channel, adread and all

    I only watch 2 channels from youtube that are on nebula and as far as I’ve seen they’ve taken out the ad reads. I’d be pretty annoyed with a channel if they still did the ad read on a paid site.

      It’s been a loooong time since I looked at nebula but at the time that seemed to be true for the few I looked at. Maybe it’s gotten better, that would be nice. I’ll have to check it out again

    I don’t see the problem with that. The difference is you pay instead of being served YouTube pre-roll ads. And they get a bigger cut than it would off of YouTube premium.

    As many hours as it takes to make a video It’s kind of amazing some people upload different versions on each platform, they don’t really have to.

  Won’t matter. As soon as those alternatives get big enough, they’ll either sell out or look for more ways to maximize profits. The Internet is wholely infected by corporations now. Just need better ways to beat them back somehow.

    YouTube has never changed the way creators get paid without notice before so you’re probably right everyone is safe. Google isnt pinching pennies and everything is fine

    It still does matter because as long as enough people keep abandoning mature (rotten) corporations for the younger ones, the right and unignorable signal will be sent.

  Like where? There’s really no direct competition to YouTube, and probably won’t be for a very long time.

    Vimeo, nebula, vevo, peertube, metacafe, to name a few.

  Why? At least for monetized creators, they get paid more if the ads run and even more if more of their viewers subscribe.
