Why I just push Patreon or another platform fuck trying to earn money through YouTube that worthless.
There is peertube as well, but it lacks monetization. And Patreon is not the answer because not many will bother paying each creator separately (it at all). To me subscription sounds like an ideal solution, but of course, not YouTube.
Nebula exists but I subscribed to it like during COVID with Curiosity Stream bundle, however, I find their UI confusing and content discovery was very hard.
Right. I wish more people who post on YouTube would post also on alternatives such as Nebula. I mean it's only profit for them, isn't it?
Nebula tightly currates which creators they accept onto their platform. Nobody who doesn't already have a long track record of creating and publishing quality videos is going to be accepted.
Which is good for viewers - less slop to wade through. But it's hard for creators to break into.
What, they are picky? 👀 They could curate the content, not denying it.
They should allow quick unpolished genuine videos. I watch them all the time.
