Others have chimed in already but I do think it has to be a bit more privacy focused than YouTube by virtue of basically being a creator owned co-op vs. an advertising company.
Simply by virtue of having no ads, there’s no incentive to invade people’s privacy and sell the data.
That’s absolutely not true. Every company on the planet is selling whatever info they can about you to databrokers to be used in advertising.
If it got out that Nebula does that, they’d have far more to lose than gain.
To me it looks like the do just that:
That is kinda confusing, looks like they partner with tracking companies to advertise nebula, and as part of that I’m guessing they’d use whether you’ve visited the signup page or contacted support, and shares a list of subscribers to Nebula so they aren’t advertised to.
Not great, but only if you want to keep the fact that you’re subscribed to Nebula a secret.
I’m no expert though.
I’m no expert either, but I think the section mentioned above allows Nebula and the advertising companies to do a lot more than just collecting info about whether you visited the sign-up page or not.
Exactly, so they have more going for them than just not having ads themselves.
It’s going to be more private by simple virtue of not having as much power. Google owns so many different things that people use and give their personal info to every day. Nebula is nothing more than a video service.
And people pay for their content. Barely anyone pays for Google’s services. I haven’t subscribed to Nebula yet but presumably there’s no ads.
There are no ads
