I’m pretty happy with Nebula. I tried it back when it was still bundled with curiosity stream but now I just subscribe to nebula.

It obviously isn’t anywhere near a full YouTube replacement, but it’s pretty good.

Yeah, Nebula is quite good. Really like Curiosity Stream too.. I subscribe to both.

But alas, most channels I follow are Youtube only and not likely to change :(
