Yeah, the error message could be more helpful:

It’s a creator-owned video hosting site.
So no ads, no tracking, no algorithms designed to maximize engagement, no clickbait.
But it’s subscription only with a monthly or yearly cost, with all money going towards the creators and hosting costs.
The content is curated manually, so there’s a lot less than on YouTube, but the average quality is much higher IMO.

True. For less US-centric content there are only the streaming services of different country’s public TV stations.
But they’re financed by national taxes or fees, so they limit access to within the country.

Yes, good chance some of the devs live there. It’s the 5th largest French city after all.

Yes.

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.

Yes, that’s how you keep AI slop out.

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

Come to nebula.
No AI voices there.

Yes.

Raping more children

And the Dagestan beheading video.

Yeah, I made the mistake of watching it, and it broke something inside me.

It’s a reference to a video that will jar you for life.

I’d rather look at a loading screen than an ad.

hundreds of thousands

Tens of billions.
The rescue of the second downed F-15 pilot cost $2 billion alone.
The cost of the 850 Tomahawk missiles fired on Iran was another $2 billion.
The US lost an E-3 worth $500 million, as well as several fighter jets, Reaper drones, transport planes and Black Hawk helicopters.
And that’s just the big “consumables”, the cost of all the other bombs and missiles and the entire logistics pipeline comes on top.

If you add the cost of the closed Strait of Hormuz to the taxpayer, we’re talking hundreds of billions.
