Nebula

Nebula is a paid video streaming app created by YouTube creators within the Standard creator community. It is designed to let YouTube video creators test-drive new content before posting it on established YouTube channels. The app’s content comes in a variety of categories, including Music, History, Gaming, and Film and TV. Videos, podcasts, and classes are available.

The app is ad-free and costs $5 per month. You may also sign up using the CuriosityStream bundle (only for new subscribers). If you’d like access to the classes, you need to pay for the $149 annual plan.

Nebula launched in 2019, with about 75 creators. Now, there are over 140 creators on the platform who have 120+ million collective YouTube subscribers, making it one of the most successful YouTube rival platforms. Nebula was nominated for best Influencer Campaign in the 10th Annual Streamy Awards and Best Creator Product in the 11th Annual Streamy Awards.

Nebula is owned and operated by Standard and the creators, with Curiosity Inc (CuriosityStream) holding a minority stake and a board seat. The creators who post on the service get paid based on watch time with something called “nebula profit” which is divided 50/50 between the creators and Standard.
