IIRC Nebula has an exclusivity clause in their contract not allowing content creators to upload to other platforms, though I could be thinking of CuriosityStream.

You must mean CuriosityStream because most of my favourite Nebula creators are also YouTubers. Usually, the Nebula version of their video is slightly longer, too.

This point was raised in the video as well, that Nebula has an exclusivity clause. Occasionally, there is a Nebula-exclusive upload, but my experience is the same as yours; most videos are also uploaded to YouTube (usually with a sponsored ad inserted).

It could be a time based clause. Nebula exclusive for two weeks prior to any other upload, etc

Nebula, its arms open.

That’s good to know. That makes it a hard no for me.

In an episode of the TV series "Star Trek: the Next Generation", there's an episode where the main characters encounter an alien species whose speech seems to defy translation. Each time the lead fails to understand the chief alien, the alien says "Shaka, when the walls fell". Eventually it turns out the aliens communicate only by referencing historical events - their whole language is built around the concept of a s…

Thanks, very much sounds like it's not worth the 7 minutes, at all.

Kiteo, his eyes closed.

The point about Nebula having an exclusivity clause feels pretty incorrect. I haven't seen a contract, obviously, but tons of videos uploaded on Nebula are also available on YouTube. There are some videos labeled "Nebula Originals" and I would imagine those are exclusive, but that's a fraction of the content on most channels, at least from what I've seen.

He says in the video that YouTube is the only exception to the exclusivity clause, meaning the couldn't also publish to Float Plane or other similar platforms.

It was an explanation of the title, not the video. The video is about Jeff Geerling explaining that he is now diversifying his video output to Floatplane due to YouTube AI slop, removing dislikes, censorship policy, and user hostile behaviour. And he explains why it is Floatplane and not Nebula or others.
