What is Nebula?
Nebula is an independent creator-owned streaming service. Think of it like a cross between Patreon, YouTube, and Netflix.
Patreon, in that you get some exclusive or early-access content, but largely it's about ad-free versions of what's available on YouTube already.
YouTube, in that it's a large number of small-time creators, and the vast majority of the creators on Nebula got invited to the platform because of their success on YouTube.
And Netflix because unlike Patreon, it's a single subscription to gain access to the whole library, not a per-creator fee. It's also relatively exclusive and only available to creators who are selectively invited to join, rather than being open to anyone who wants to create an account and start sharing.
The full library can be browsed without an account, so you can use that to decide if you like what's on offer. They've got news programmes, media reviews & criticism, urbanism, science and sport discussion, cultural commentary, and more. Oh, and game shows. But as a general rule, it's all extremely high quality stuff, and most of it is either left leaning or attempts to present a neutral point of view (as TLDR does).
Why is it linked here?
Jason Slaughter is one of the creators on (and therefore one of the co-owners of) Nebula. He typically uploads his videos to Nebula between a day and a week before they go up publicly on YouTube, and the Nebula version does not include the sponsor read.
How much does it cost?
As of this writing, a Nebula subscription costs US$30 per year, or $6 per month, if you sign up through a creator's code (or slightly more if you sign up without a code).
The price was previously US$20 per year, and people on that price were grandfathered in. The Nebula CEO has stated his hope is to keep it that way, though there's no guarantees.
It also offers a Lifetime membership, currently $300. Nebula is very transparent that this is not intended to be a good deal for customers. You should only do this if you strongly dislike recurring costs, and/or if you want to support Nebula. The CEO has stated that this is their alternative to seeking venture funding. It allows them to raise large amounts of money for more expensive investments (such as Nebula Originals, including Jason Slaughter's upcoming "Day Pass"), without selling out their ownership to corporate interests.

I had Nebula for a while, I did the $6 monthly plan. I got rid of it because I'm a broke bitch, but I really enjoyed the platform and there are many creators on there.
