Nebula is interesting. You pay for a subscription, which funds creators and platform costs.

So... YouTube Premium.

Yup, but no Google tracking, but they seem to do other tracking.

Sounds like a survivable approach. Except: has anyone heard of it? I hadn't.

It’s owned and populated by history and science/engineering YouTubers, so if you’re not usually watching that side of YouTube, you might not find much on Nebula for you.

On the flipside, that's most of what I watch, so I hear about it all the time.

The youtubers that are on nebula place ads of it on almost every one of their videos.

If you haven't heard about nebula it's because:

  • You don't follow any nebula creators.
  • You use sponsor block.

Same for Floatplane

Sure, use anything that's not Youtube.
