One of the most significant breakthroughs in Nebula's growth was the partnership with CuriosityStream, another streaming service focusing on educational content. Instead of viewing each other as competitors, the two platforms recognized their complementary nature. This collaboration allowed creators to offer services from both platforms through bundled promotional deals, dramatically boosting Nebula’s visibility and attracting new subscribers.
As Nebula's paywall began to climb steadily, the company remained focused on the creator-first mindset. Creators would earn direct payouts for their promotional efforts on YouTube while also receiving benefits from viewer engagement on the platform itself.
