“Curiosity Stream is a science and documentary-specific streaming service. Nebula is a science and informational streaming service that's built by and owned by YouTube creators. I think that that's really interesting, and I think that that's sort of the thing that's most new, that's least thought about. And I think it's actually really interesting and will probably be a lot more important five years from now than it currently is.”

Follow-up

As of August 2026, Curiosity Stream and Nebula have continued to grow, with Nebula particularly highlighted in creator economy discussions as a successful creator-owned platform. Their strategic importance in diversifying away from YouTube-only reliance has increased. The prediction is partially confirmed, as these services have measurably grown in importance, but the full 5-year impact (by Feb 2028) is still developing.
