I’ve been busy degoogling and thinking of replacing YouTube with these two streaming services. You can get them bundled for $50/yr. Anyone have experience with them, and are they worth it? Thank you!

    If these closed gardens provided a copy to internet archive (to be unlocked in the future, or in the event of bankruptcy) I think I wouldn’t have any objections.

    As far as I’m aware, Nebula / Curiosity Stream doesn’t have any exclusivity agreements with creators… they’re free to post their videos elsewhere, too. Why is it Nebula’s responsibility - or even their right - to archive creators’ content? Shouldn’t the creators be the ones to decide how and where their content is distributed?

      For Nebula, it depends.

      If the creator made the work on their own dime, then it can be released anywhere.

      However, Nebula will give creators money to make content that creators could not self fund. In those cases, these videos could either be Nebula exclusive or Nebula first videos.

        That’s good info - I wasn’t aware of that being a thing. Does that exclusivity agreement survive the hypothetical dissolution of Nebula? If not, the creators would be free to distribute it as they saw fit in the situation you propose where Nebula goes out of business and archival is needed.

          I don’t know and that hasn’t been made public. However, since Nebula is owned by the creators, I can’t imagine a scenario where the creators give up their copyright if the business fails.
