    Finally subscribed to Nebula a few days ago. Between a third and half the creators I follow are there. I’m planning to move away from YouTube entirely, even if I can pay for premium or block ads I want to make the statement I don’t support their service anymore.

      I’m trying out nebula because I saw your suggestion and honestly a year for $60 isn’t terrible at all. But I’m having trouble finding creators (not because the app isn’t good but because it seems a lot of the channels I follow on YouTube aren’t on Nebula. I have two devices open actively going down the list of channels I follow on YouTube trying to find channels I want to follow on Nebula and so far I am striking out pretty bad. I hope I can get half the creators I follow on Nebula because so far it’s pretty decent from what I have seen. App is easy to navigate and pretty polished etc.

      Is there a way to view who’s on the service (creator wise) before paying for it? Because if not that’s the major flaw with it.

        I am not sure if it is possible, to be honest. I decided to move as I saw a lot of the YouTubers I follow do sponsored segments on nebula, so I knew I was going to find at least them in there. If I do find any kind of page or tool to find out I’ll share it here

        Yes, I forgot to clarify that. I decided to pay for a nebula subscription, which is creator owned, and to try and stop using YouTube as much as I can.

        I even got a nice discount on it from the sponsor segment of one of the creators I follow

        I know this isn’t an option everyone can take, but for the ones who can, I think it sends a clearer message to YouTube and Google than any ad blocker, if you don’t respect me as a viewer I’ll stop using your service altogether. The ad blocker is still a great option though!
