With youtube blocking adblockers, maybe it’s time to look into alternatives and start migrating videos there as well. Any viable Fediverse alternatives that’s mature enough to contend with youtube?

It’s subscription based.

Then how exactly is it a youtube alternative?

thats youtubes whole thing - being freely available.

then pornhub is an alternative as well, guess ?

Well nothing is free. You’re the product on YouTube.

By the same logic nothing on the fediverse is an alternative, as it runs on donations from users which is basically a subscription model with built in welfare for those not able or willing to donate.

Given that nebula videos are more difficult to produce than rambling text posts, it makes sense to be more stringent about the subscriptions. I’d say therefore it’s very much within the spirit of the fediverse as profits are given back to the creators.

I think being categorized as an alternative to a platform is based on it’s functionality, not the way you pay for it. It’s about what purpose it has to the user.

Besides that, you pay for Youtube as well, but with your data and maybe YT Premium.
