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.

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

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

            Ah. Makes sense. It seems like many Android browsers don’t enable streaming digital rights management bits, lately, because they figure folks will use the dedicated apps anyway.

            The mobile browsers are rapidly approaching parity with their desktop cousins, so this may get better in the near future. Although Brave might not decide to support DRM streaming, because there’s no real guarantee what’s in the DRM binary.
