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.

    Back when they had the Curiosity Stream bundle content discovery basically didn't matter, because they barely had any content. You could check the site like two or three times a week and there'd be like 4 or 5 new videos each time.

    It's expanded a huge amount since then. And they've added a larger degree of content discovery stuff. Personally I mostly just go straight to the "Latest Videos" section (which, unlike the confusingly-similarly-named "New Releases" section, only shows the latest videos from channels you follow), but there are a bunch of other ways you can let it suggest content to you.
