Come to nebula.
No AI voices there.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 hours ago

Expect it's a empty devoid worthless cuck club of invite only nothingness.

There's literally no upside to the concept.

[–] BryyM@lemmy.world 20 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

But some categories are completely devoid of content because its an invite only platform

[–] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 hours ago

Suit yourself but I think it makes Nebula have better quality. It's quality over quantity.

[–] mech@feddit.org 24 points 10 hours ago

Yes, that's how you keep AI slop out.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't have an invite i just joined through Jacob Geller's YouTube channel

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

That makes sense

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 8 hours ago

Yes. Viewers are open signup.

That looks just like nebula (also a creator-owned platform), but with exclusively communist content.

[–] mitram@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 hours ago

Can't say, never tried it, just know that it's creator owned and doesn't have any AI voiced content.

[–] MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Is nebula not a subscription only platform?

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. But also entirely ad-free, and with lots of quality creators. And it's quite a bit cheaper than pretty much any other streaming service.

[–] MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I wasn't criticizing, just checking to make sure I had the right one. I can't really afford to do even more subscriptions, but maybe one day if I ever get back into the 'youtube style thing' in the future.

Do you also need an invite?

[–] valek879@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

No need for an invite. Creators need to be invited to join the platform. So not just anyone can post their content there. A thing missing from Nebula is gaming content, like gameplays, etc., but it's a curated list of creators that put out generally quality stuff.

I paid for the lifetime subscription assuming it's been around for like 3 years, I reckon it'll be around 3 more and I don't want to deal with another monthly sub. I really like Jet Lag, I find it just the right amount of neurodivergent fun and competitive and chill. I also watch channels like Wendover, Not Just Bikes, and Real Life Lore. They are all on Nebula and I assume my sub is somehow divided up equitably, although I haven't looked into it. I also hope some of the money I paid goes to people who I haven't heard of or watched yet but I might like to watch in the future.

Is it better than YouTube...no. But it doesn't have to be, it is serving a different use case. I know when I open Nebula that I'll find something worth watching with no slop and a lot less money going to multinational corporations. They still have servers that need hosting so some money has to go to corporations but I'm not paying a trillion dollar company directly which feels nice.

[–] lemmysir@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I have been on the edge for a while now, I'll probably end up at least trying it after my vacation. Do you really think it's worth the subscription price?

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

To me it's definitely worth it. Many of my favorite creators are already on there. I get exclusives and early releases, high definition, and no ads. And the nice fuzzy feeling of knowing that my views result in the creator receiving some actual money.

I still use YouTube quite a lot... But I find that I'm using Nebula more and more as time goes by.

[–] lemmysir@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

Alright, thanks for taking the time to comment. As I said, I'm pretty much already going to give it a go, but hearing people's thoughts on it is appreciated. The thing about actually knowing you're contributing to paying the people whose content you like does sound appealing.

[–] mech@feddit.org 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

Depends what you want out of it.
I'm not aware of any content on nebula that isn't also on YouTube.
So if you're happy with the YouTube experience, probably not.

I joined when Tom Scott started posting his new videos there one week earlier than YouTube, and offered a discount code for 50% off for the first year.
1 year for the price of three drinks at a bar is worth it to me.

I was sick of clicking on an interesting-looking video in the YT feed that turned out to be AI slop or rage bait.
And the autoplay of the next video the algorithm chooses annoyed me, too. YT was also the last Google service I still used, so ditching it felt good.
Plus, my favorite creator Real Time History thanks people watching on nebula at the end of each video, saying "We couldn't do it without you", which makes me all fuzzy inside.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 9 hours ago

There’s a lot of content that’s just on nebula not YouTube, but it’s mostly long form stuff. There’s a whole section at the top titled “Only on Nebula”.

[–] lemmysir@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, I think YouTube will be the last Google service I let go also, a lot of content I enjoy is the exclusively there as far as I know. But I have also decided to get rid of Google, meta and such as thoroughly as I can, so I do hope some combination of nebula, peertube and/or whatever else google free I can find will suffice. I am mostly annoyed by the similar things you were when it comes to yt. Thanks for the Tom Scott shoutout, I wasn't aware he started making new stuff. You'd think YouTube algorithms would let me know lol.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 8 hours ago

Do you watch a lot of YouTube and at least a few are saying they are on Nebula? Then absolutely

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 2 points 8 hours ago

I got it, then saw that its app sucked, then stopped using it for months despite having a valid subscription, then found the Gray Jay app, then found that I can queue all my videos together seamlessly in an excellent player and now slowly I'm watching more and more Nebula content and cutting out more and more YouTube content.

Nebula has a lot of stuff I like (long form, deep dive, factual, analytic videos). Now that my videos across platforms can be in one place, its easier to accept the more limited selection on Nebula. As I find more stuff on Nebula and unsubscribe from more stuff on YouTube, my whole video stream diet is getting better and better. The value of Nebula is slowly increasing for me. I wouldn't have continued at all or renewed my subscription if I was using their default app and going between multiple apps for my video streams; and if that was the case it had been much easier for me to stick with YouTube and Newpipe app.
