Heck, the only competitors in this space are Dailymotion (a French platform that has been enshittified Digg v4 style) and Rumble (an extreme pro-free speech platform that’s being bankrolled by alt-righters.)

Nebula isn't really a YouTube replacement. If anything, the business model of Nebula still somewhat relies on YouTube for advertising. There also isn't a free version of Nebula in the way there is a free version of YouTube.
