Nebula is missing discovery, also comments, also the network effect of course. I can open YouTube at any time, and probably see something interesting within a few scrolls of the homepage.
Nebula would be as good if I consistently wanted to watch a particular creator - say, if I consistently listened to LegalEagle on my train ride to work - but I don't. And the channels that are good enough to consistently watch do not upload regularly enough to be spotted on a chronological feed and I'm sure that's no accident. Nor, I suspect, do they upload regularly enough to be eligible for a partnership with Nebula.
I have a subscription to Nebula because I want to support them and the idea and their future competitors other than YouTube, but I don't actually use it.
