The problem exists when feeding in video published externally without thumbnails or who’ve not been uploaded through Blossom servers. The purpose of Plebs is that it uploads the videos and thumbnails to multiple Blossom servers and then has fallback support to trying the video’s sha256 hash with another host if one goes down to ensure redundancy.

nostr already has a lack of content and kind1 is lindy lack of thumbnails is less of an issue than lack of content cutting up our already limited network effect is questionable imo i will continue to post my shows blossom kind1
A good compromise is to post the use-case-specific kind, then quote it in a kind 1 to advertise its existence. This also encourages clients to either implement render support for the new kind, or advertise alternative clients via NIP 89.
