Funny. They can try. I'm not as dependant on their platform as they wish-think. I'll find other ways or other platforms.

Nebula is a pretty decent paid platform with a lot of short form YouTube style content on it. Pretty sure its significantly better on privacy policy as well.

Without even reading their privacy policy, this much is pretty obvious. Nebula has a very simple, more traditional business model. You pay them money, they give you product. (Namely, streaming video.) Their business model doesn't include personal data in any way.

It's good to see more alternatives. Maybe I'll check out this one later

I looked into it and seems like a real pain in the ass to set up
