platforms are hard. they always have owners and administrators who may not have your interests in mind. my recommendation is pause a bit, and ponder what your objectives are, and who you want to reach. then, when you know that, search for options. nostr is great for text but it's just a simple protocol. video and all that fancy stuff is not what it can help you with. things can't be that bad if you can upload videos. it seems to me like reach is the problem you are up against now, after being blacklisted.

the owner of the channel is considering a solution like dailywire had in us, owning their content on servers and relying on the montlh subscriptions etc. but the thing is, they already tried to run this financial model when youtube restricted them from getting monetizing their contents. also, they were faced shadowbans before due to their ideas, so maybe tying the things around nostr, even maybe having the zaps for a way to finance the contents would make things easier. idk, i genuienly believe that nostr is built situations like this. building the community in here would help them in the long run i believe.

well, legit, non-tainted, non-spook-handled citizen journalism is very important. nostr will give you easy access and probably if the stories are interesting, a lot of people paying attention. if video content is the thing, you just need a way to host it. someone here will have ideas. there may also be existing projects you can get involved with. there is a lot of devs on nostr. and we need both content and testers. you'll find what you need, i think.

We don't have a good solution. I vibe coded one about two months ago. It works well, but I never launched it because it only works well if you buy storage from Primal, Satellite.earth, Nostr.build, or run your own Blossom media server.

how much it costs though? is it cheaper than running a central server? if it is, then buying storage or running blossom is feasible for them.

ok, ok. ok. i will test orly's blossom server on the weekend. what is the threat model for hosting? where should the servers not be, and what budget is there for premium high res 4k if you have gear to capture that? i'm probably far from the best person to give suggestions for it. i'm more programmer than devops or cybersec. fully p2p video hosting and delivery, what has happened to this area of research? i remember when bittorrent started to get into that stuff, but where is it being used? and maybe it's telling, of the state of nostr, where focus is, and is not. ❌ direct messaging ❌ distributed video hosting ❌ users directly funding relays
