They did a video about their revenue model and people treat it as a way to support the creators, not to actually watch content permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Historical_General@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Could Nebula work as a Patreon-competitor. Patreon as a company is totally fucked iirc - the investors are treating the company like a piggy bank, which is a shame because it is easily a profitable and viable company. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sic_1@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Nebula is pretty awesome and the type of content is great. I miss some light entertainment content though, so the network effect is at work. Still, nebula is the only streaming platform I'd consider subscribing as their policy is great and they do provide good value. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Stumblinbear@pawb.social 1 point 2 years ago* I'm not really certain what value nebula provides other than some creators uploading occasional content exclusively on nebula. Without nebula they'd just... Upload it to YouTube, which is free, so I'm not sure what the difference is permalink fedilink source parent [–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Meh I had nebula a couple years ago and it had some missing features and fairly poor depth of content. The same few bits constantly being pushed. I'm hopeful it improves but I wasn't using it. permalink fedilink source parent
