I wouldn't ever give Google a single penny. Instead, I pay for Nebula, allowing me to watch high quality videos and documentaries while supporting indie creators. And it's just $5/month.

I will probably put my money where my mouth is, and get a nebula subscription

It's definitely worth it. And it's better to help independent creators instead of giving money to Google or other shady big tech companies.

Well, I ended up doing it for a year. I'll see if I end up using it or not.

Not enough content on Nebula. I subscribed because of a couple YouRubers I follow, but there’s just not much there (at least that I watch).

These are some Nebula creators I like

  • TLDR News (and their other channels)
  • NileRed
  • PolyMatter
  • ColdFusion
  • TechAltar
  • Ali Abdaal
  • Thomas Frank
  • Wendover Productions
  • RealLifeLore
  • Climate Town
  • Half as Interesting
  • Real Engineering
  • BobbyBroccoli
  • EposVox
  • Not Just Bikes

I still occasionally use YouTube, but much less than before. I also enjoy Odysee and PeerTube. Grayjay is an amazing Android app to manage all these streaming platforms in one central place.

Thanks for the list! I actually got nebula because of RealLifeLore and Wendover. I’ve since subscribed to TLDR News and Real Engineering so I’ll have to give the other creators on your list a view.

I can give you some video recommendations for each channel I listed if you want to

Just checked out Half as Interesting and realized it’s the same guy as Wendover. Recognized the voice immediately.

I’m interested. It’s a real shame they just paywall the entire app and don’t give you a chance to explore what’s there a little.
