"well now you can go to nebula the site by creators for creators"
... Who will unironically post the exact same content from their YouTube channel, adread and all
I only watch 2 channels from youtube that are on nebula and as far as I've seen they've taken out the ad reads. I'd be pretty annoyed with a channel if they still did the ad read on a paid site.
It's been a loooong time since I looked at nebula but at the time that seemed to be true for the few I looked at. Maybe it's gotten better, that would be nice. I'll have to check it out again
I don't see the problem with that. The difference is you pay instead of being served YouTube pre-roll ads. And they get a bigger cut than it would off of YouTube premium.
As many hours as it takes to make a video It's kind of amazing some people upload different versions on each platform, they don't really have to.
Cutting out the sponsor segment would be less than a minute's work though.
As someone who's cut a lot of videos, at best that's a maybe. Depends on the video, depends on the workflow, there's a lot more to it sometimes.
I don't think I've noticed any adreads or sponsorship stuff on any of the content ive watched there actually, though of course that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, I may have just been lucky with my subscribe list.
