    Jet Lag is similar to Top Gear/The Grand Tour. Watching three blokes who are friends, but with occasional competitive friction, messing about in exotic overseas locations.

      They definitely have the chemistry working as did the top gear/grand tour trio. They can be friendly, competitive, annoying, funny, cross but always interesting. Ben is in many respects very like James May, and rather unique he holds the show together.

      @@mr.gorillaz8449 I wouldn't say they are ordinary. I worked for a big RUclips channel and RUclips channel agencies which is why I know who has potential and who doesn't. If they had three other people that wouldn't be as fitting then their big channel push and marketing wouldn't get them where they are now.

    Jet lag is very much the reason I subscribe to nebula. No idea how much they make off it, but despite how much larger the HAI and Wendover subscriber base is, Sam had made comments about the relative value of the entertainment show (Jet Lag), that suggests it really outperforms.

    • @DarkHarlequin
      @DarkHarlequin Месяц назад

      Frankly speaking I don´t care if jet Lag just breaks even or if off camera Sam ben & Adam are getting Cocain delivered to them in golden trucks to their mansions! plenty people become rich by preying on their audiences and delivering cheap content en mass. I´d rather support that. If the creators become rich in the process or not makes no difference for me who sees the end product.

  • @DarkHarlequin
    @DarkHarlequin Месяц назад +88

    Frankly I subscribe to Nebula cause I support the way Sam & friends (as well as some other nebula creators) make content and I believe in letting my wallet speak and supporting what I want to see more of.
    It´s quality, it´s charming it´s not overloaded with product placement / preying on its audience. And I want to support that for the future. Fullstop!

    I started watching them last year and I am obsessed I think the key to their success is that they play games we grew up with and make it 10 times better in their own unique way. Like when are you going to see anyone chase someone across Europe or hide and seek in a whole country.

    I like JetLag and have watched the competition for a couple of years (don't remember what the first one was). I usually stop the video before the Nebula "schpiel" because I can't watch more than one long episode per week (and I also watch other long videos) and the "watch the next episode today" isn't a good thing either, because then I have to wait for the next episode again, but pay to do it. Of course there are other creators there that I also could watch, but again, I get what I want/need for free on RUclips (Premium).

    I signed up to Nebula as a way to support the content creators beyond the ad revenue / YT Premium income they get from the RUclips views. I'm lucky enough that I can afford it, and see the early access to the latest episode and exclusive JetLag content is a small bonus.

    I think i initially started paying for Nebula just to watch Crime Spree across America when it was mentioned on the Half as interesting channel. Since the subscription at the time was yearly and not monthly, and I kept paying once jet lagged hit because I love the serries so much, I want to watch it right as it releases.

    I watch Jet Lag on RUclips because it’s free. I’m not going to pay for a service to watch the same video that I clan get a week later for free. I don’t care if I wait a week to watch a new episode because no matter which platform you use you’ll still have to wait a week for a new episode anyway. Also I don’t have much money to spend on things I don’t need such as a streaming service. That money will be better spent on my rent or groceries.

      Not all Nebula shows do this. Jet Lag is leveraging RUclips to advertise Nebula; other creators on the platform post either exclusively on Nebula, or post extended edits on Nebula including content that RUclips would suppress them for.
