For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn't want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

Well for the $5/month you get:

  • Videos earlier than on Youtube for most (i think) creators (the least valuable of the 3)
  • Exclusive bonus videos (this one i like, it varies what the exclusive is, but it is usually as high quality as the rest of the creators content)
  • The creators get paid much more (even if you have Youtube Premium). The payout of Nebula is like Spotify where Nebula (the company) takes 30% of money earned and then split the rest to the content creators based on watch time.

These 3 things are what I think make Nebula worth it for me, though it's fair if you don't think it's worth it to you (to each their own). Also, i don't how long ago you signed up but for me I think there's a good amount of content on Nebula (at least for the types of videos I watch)
