I hate Floatplane being tied to LMG right now. The concept of floatplane is great and a competitor to YouTube is much needed
I've been enjoying Nebula as a creator-owned YouTube alternative. I don't like all the creators there (a bit too "BreadTube" for my tastes), but there are plenty of creators that I do like. They have some decent bundles too.
Yea YouTube desperately needs some legitimate competition
It's not likely to ever happen. The business model just isn't sustainable by itself. The costs are through the roof, and ads don't pay enough to pay for it and pay creators. Any competitor would be far more restricted on who and what can be uploaded.
Definitely, I don't see another platform popping up where anyone can upload basically unlimited amounts of anything. It's kinda insane that Google even allows that still haha
But Floatplane is at least a high-quality platform that sufficiently supports creators without ads (subscription instead)
