  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

So I paid for nebula, but it seems totally vacant. I'm not mad, I'm happy to spend the money supporting small creators/any independent endeavour, but am I missing something??

The app isn’t exactly optimised for finding content. There’s a lot on there, but it always takes me a while to figure out which submenu gives me the goodies.

it seems totally vacant

OP did say that "the content is more “pleasant department store”". Have you been to a department store lately? They're pretty vacant lol

It's relatively new and has a small userbase. I doubt it will ever get as active as youtube but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'll be honest, one of the parts I really like about the show Jet Lag is when they reccomend channels to watch at the end of the episode.
