    I use piped/libretube, not an alternative but a different frontend, content is scraped from yt, so google cannot track you. The downside is that some instances can be unreliable and you can’t like or comment. Subscriptions work but I don’t think they contribute to a channel’s sub count.

      Been curious about Nebula but haven’t gotten around to trying it.

      I’ve looked up reviews before, but they all seem pretty vague.

      What do you (or anyone else that uses it) get from Nebula you didn’t get on regular YouTube?

      What ratio do you watch Nebula over YT?

      We have YouTube Premium already due to the insane number of hours we use it, especially with the Chromecast, and I’m wondering what benefit we could get.

        If you’re in the right (well, left) spheres, you’ll run into content creators who advertise creating exclusive stuff for Nebula, because it gives them a better deal than YouTube ever has.

        Personally, I would rather adblock or ReVanced my YouTube app and sign up for Nebula for everybody I can, and Patreon or similar for everybody else.

          There’s nothing weak about metaphorically walking into a club and realizing the people there aren’t your kind of people and you don’t want to hang out with them.

          There’s also nothing weak about boycotting said club because it was specifically created to cater to said people and you don’t want to give them money/support their work.

            But all of the Rumble user base can’t be right wingers. So if you see same right wing stuff and you leave because of that. Yeah, that is weak. Find the good stuff on Rumble and watch that.

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(company)

              It was founded in 2013 by Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian technology entrepreneur. Rumble’s cloud services business hosts Truth Social, and the video platform is popular among American right and far-right users. Rumble has been described as “alt-tech”.

              It’s not a matter of finding good content or content that isn’t “alt-right.” The platform itself is inherently an objectionable alt-right soapbox and I have 0 and I mean Z.E.R.O. interest in supporting that.
