  • This is exactly the information I was looking for.

    It seemed like the key points from the medium post were:

    • Nebula creators don’t actually own any of the company, but are promised a portion if the company is ever sold.

    • They are likely funded by venture capitalists, and are masquerading as a form of co-op

    • The sales pitch to subscribers is disingenuous because content creators are claiming to have 50% ownership, when they actually have 0%

    I think you summed it up well. According to that post, they are a better option than YouTube, are friendlier to content creators, but are in serious lack of transparency





  • In current conversations, it is hard to point towards potential future economic policies when inflation and the cost of living was so extreme in the Biden administration.

    In a conversation I had just prior to the election, one of his supporters commented to me “things were just better before Biden. I could afford groceries back then…”

    You and I know there is nuance to this. Economic policies and infrastructure investment both have delayed effects to see the benefit, often not occurring until the next president is in office. That, and the fact that it’s hard to hold corporate greed and Wall Street accountable without a super majority.

    None of that helps to keep in your back pocket during casual discourse though.



  • Insidious is a good word for it.

    Though, I worry that we are not as resilient as you might imply. America left World War II with half the world’s wealth, a healthy middle class, and was responsible for half the world’s manufacturing.

    As a result, even with all of that wealth being transferred, we were wealthy enough as a country that the full effects of the wealth transfer have not been felt in its entirety.

    With The US ostensibly transferring into late-stage capitalism, and the consequential income inequality, I am not as optimistic as you in our recovery from despotism.
