This is the community for Nebula which is a paid streaming website. Tom Scott's videos go up on YouTube a week later.

So it's basically just a way to pay for early access? Like a patreon? I'll just have some patience and watch for free next week. I'm already subscribed to him on YouTube. Thanks for the info!

That was always allowed.

Nebula is a great streaming service if you like video essays. Almost all of the big essayists are on there, and post early or exclusive content. For the longest time it was the only way to watch Lindsay Ellis’ work after she (rightfully) left YouTube.

It’s not for everyone. I sign up semi-regularly when I’m in the mood, but ‘Oops! All Essays’ isn’t what I am looking for every month.

I just consider it a better way to line some excellent youtubers pockets. I don't want to give google any money, but an indie run service that has lots of people I would like to donate to, all for $30/yr?

Works for me.

It's not really like Patreon; Nebula is more of a streaming service with a lot of creators on it. There are some exclusives and early releases, as well as mirrors to their general yt content.

I don't have the money to subscribe to various Patreons, but a very reasonable fee which goes to supporting a lot of creators I do like is well worth it to me.

It's a bit like Patreon. There's a lot of early access, some extended or uncensored cuts/bonus content, and some completely original content. All of it ad-free and 99% sponsor-free (occasionally a creator will forget to remove the sponsor read and I think like twice I've seen it done deliberately for artistic reasons).

Unlike Patreon it's a single subscription to get access to all the content on the site, instead of being creator-by-creator.

You can browse the catalogue completely free without an account, to see how much of it you would like and if it's worth it or not.
