I know Nebula is not exactly open source, but it is pitched as a creator-controlled (or, at least a creator-centric) platform.

YouTube is my main platform of media consumption, and I would prefer to find other avenues that are not quite as monolithic.

Has anyone here tried Nebula? Is it worth it, and is there anything sketchy about it I should be aware of?

    A lot of YouTubers actually upload their videos to Odyssey as well, which is free. Might be worth checking it out. Although I’m not a huge fan of the company cosplaying Odysee as a decentralized blockchain YouTube alternative when everything is clearly stored on their servers. Cannot really stor videos on a blockchain

      Every time I read “block chain” in relation to anything on the Web, 99.9% of the time is complete garbage used to try and make as much money as possible. Your description of their “service” reinforces my opinion.
