I’m sure they are working on a youtube messaging app behind the scenes.

    Nebula is very sustainable.

    The 20mbit bandwidth of a 4k video might have been a lot 10 years ago, but it’s child’s play now.

      Nebula works for now because it still has nowhere near the amount of videos being served and uploaded per minute than YouTube. Having to cache videos in servers all around the globe takes up significant cost too.

        That’s probably true, but economic sustainability is what makes privacy sustainability possible.

        Youtube is such a mess because it has to fight so hard to make ads work, which is unsustainable.

        Nebula makes its money through monthly fees and thus has no incentives to track users beyond providing a better service.

        Nebula being essentially a creators’ co-operative organization also helps with the sustainable governence side, too.
