    If you haven’t already, take a look at Dave Wiskus’s response to it on Reddit, posted elsewhere in the comments.

      Thanks for pointing that out. I’d missed the last line on my first read of it somehow.

      Additionally, 1/3 of the revenue from any subscriber is allocated to the creator responsible for bringing in that subscriber.

      This reads to me like this is the purpose of going to a creator specific link when initially signing up. For example, if you go to nebula.tv and sign up from their main page, no specific creator gets that 33% cut of your revenue. Alternatively, if you see a YouTube video where a creator talks about their content also being on Nebula, they ask you not to go to the platforms main page, but specifically to nebula.tv/zagorath to sign up. If I went to that link and signed up, you would get 33% of my subscription revenue.

      To me, this opens another question of what is this the term of this 33% cut. I doubt it’s a cut of the revenue for so long as my subscription is active. I’d imagine it’s more likely a cut of whatever the initial payment is, be it a single month’s subscription fee or a full year.
