I know Nebula is not exactly open source, but it is pitched as a creator-controlled (or, at least a creator-centric) platform.

YouTube is my main platform of media consumption, and I would prefer to find other avenues that are not quite as monolithic.

Has anyone here tried Nebula? Is it worth it, and is there anything sketchy about it I should be aware of?

I try to throw Nebula a month of subscription every so often, since they do feel like a step in the right direction.

But the one that really replaced YouTube, for me, was DropOut.Tv.

And yeah, I guess that means silliness is more important than science videos, for me.

I'm still looking for a non-monopoly service for handyman stuff, if anyone has suggestions.

Dropout is great, my wife and I love watching D20

DropOut won't load on my browser, even with my VPN turned off

That's good to know. What OS and browser?

I haven't had any trouble but I mostly watch via their app, on Android.

Android via Brave
