Working on it. It is HARD, that’s why so few are out there. Small scale, easy. Increase load and requirements grow exponentially and so is need to fund it. Until someone decides to invest into that and have a team work on it full time, I don’t see it happening in near future. Simple video upload, take Handbreak, encode video MP4 for web, upload to nostr.build, enjoy. Anything more than that, and we run into multitude of complexities. As an example, recent video that went semi-viral on Nostr, consumed about 1TB of data in one day, estimated to consume another 2-3. The cheapest CDN that is available will charge $5 per TB. Now do the math and multiply by number of videos and users. 🐶🐾🫡

YouTube when they started burnt through millions of dollars and was still in red when Google purchased them for 5B 🐶🐾🤯

I guess this is one of those businesses that just requires a lot of upfront capital. Good to know.

We can cheap away at it with gradual growth, but don’t expect miracles. We also have day jobs that pay our actual bills. So it’s all voluntary efforts 🐶🐾🫂
