The blue LED was supposed to be impossible—until a young engineer proposed a moonshot idea.

Just a PSA for those who don’t know… no shade against Odysee… I’ve just encountered folks here who don’t know this:
Veritassium and many others on YouTube make their living by the advertising shown on YT. If you’re a premium member, even more money goes to the creator when you watch their content. It’s this very money that allows independent creators to create more / better content!
I wish he posted his stuff on Nebula as well. His stuff totally fits the vibe of the platform, and would potentially make him even more money.
So they get more from the subscription fee without ads than they from the ad revenue? Many also have their own sponsors, right?
Yes to both!
If they weren’t comfortable with not getting YT ad revenue, they wouldn’t be uploading their content to alternative sites.
Relying on YT as the gatekeeper to your entire livelihood also has a cost. It’s not trivial to calculate but I imagine it’s greater than the loss of AdSense money. There’s a reason many people who rely on video content creation to survive hedge through the likes of Nebula, Floatplane or, indeed, Odyssey.
