I don’t know of another way to prevent deadlinks if a general kind 1 event who didn’t use a known blossom server is shown through the Plebs app and the media host they used doesn’t exist anymore. It would just show a broken video 🤷‍♂️ Other clients can publish through to Plebs if they want as well, keeping the network effect. The mission is in trying to ensure that the videos uploaded have been to Blossom servers and more than only 1 to ensure redundancy. There’s also an issue of brigading and bot spam. If not for the small tweak made for Plebs app it could be filled with just absolute garbage like Global. We already see one person who used a bot to abuse the ratioed feature and allowed showing the little girl video again. But, I have a plan to hopefully solve this sort of problem and prevent bots abuse.

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.
