Nebula and Curiosity Stream: How Creator-Owned Platforms Are Disrupting Traditional Streaming
Launched by Standard (formerly Standard.tv) and backed by Curiosity Stream, Nebula gives creators:
- 80–90 % revenue share
- No ads, no algorithm chasing virality
- Ad-free documentaries and exclusive series
- Annual subscription $60 (or $5/month)
Creators like Hbomberguy, Philosophy Tube, and LegalEagle release videos weeks early — or exclusively — on Nebula. In 2025, it has over 700,000 paying subscribers.
