    I have seen a few smaller ones pop up too (admittedly not open source) like Nebula. I could see the appeal of a professional hosting service for creators

      I don’t know about Floatplane or Nebula, but Dropout uses Vimeo as their back end. So this could impact some of the independent guys.

        Ah shit, I hadn’t thought of that. Hopefully this gives them a kick to upgrade their system or get something of their own.

      Patreon seems like the most likely competitor. I think some content is now hosted directly there.
