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.

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.

I'd check out the podcasts - I like It's Probably Not Aliens
