Nostr Web Client

Quality creator content is drowning in ads on YouTube, even when creators don't choose to monitize their work this way.

Here are 2 urgent and important reason we need high quality video/film content on Nostr where people can find it and watch with any level of sustained attention. First on Nostr, then on a Nostr video-to-television app (Nostr devs request).

1) Watching YouTube on your TV is about to get more frustrating if you’re not paying to avoid ads. YouTube is bringing unskippable 30-second ads to TV and TV apps.

2) YouTube confirms it will now show ads when you pause videos.

Let's let creators choose how to monetize their content without torturing their audience.

Just use ₿rave browser no ads and background play for YouTube

Thanks for that recommendation. As a user, I use NewPipe on my phone and Ungoogled Chromium with Ghostery on my everyday laptop, which seems to work pretty well.

Aren't hardest hardest things to achieve to gather content, especially video, are:

1. Platform (well, in case of nostr - protocol and related user interfaces like clients) popularity - few content creators will use niche solutions due to lack of viewers;

2. User-friendliness - there is PeerTube as an YouTube alternative, however it is both too expensive (for video storage and for bandwidth costs) for a single content creator?

I think the number of viewers is on its way if we prepare correctly over the next couple of years - in terms of creating strong video content delivery applications that interface with users/viewers more like centralized platforms, and in terms of creators on nostr helping to inform devs about our needs and also helping new creators navigate the nostr landscape in the interim.

that is why they call it “content.” content = filler. filler for ads.

I think a month is like $3 and for 5 accounts it's $5.

Not bad considering the ad levels. Since they made their ads server side, adblock can't skip it, so yeah big fuckery which is why I am considering paying
