We are looking for help how to upload 30 second videos that are sometimes 50 mb or more without a paid service.
Anytime we try to upload a video in nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg it does the pink circle then just disappears without any info. In nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 the video loads but says error in red. nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 has a tiny 7mb upload limit without a paid account.
We want to focus on nostr for sharing content because we believe in the ethos but very few seem interested in our photography and we can’t upload videos. We have been on nostr before zaps and try and interact as much as it makes sense for our plant shop business. Just not sure what to do.
Is nostr pay to play for content creators just starting out? What is the expected roi on paying to upload to incentivize that?

i think that such video upload services that charge less would have to probably delete videos pretty fast to contain costs
if you are at the ground floor just use a web2 "free" service
streaming large amounts of data at thousands of users is very expensive, it's not something a team of even 5 or 10 people are going to throw out in under 5 years of spin-up
We would be happy to host our own videos. Is that possible from our basic shopify website blog?
only video hosting companies with infinity money to spend on storage and bandwidth can afford to do this "free" stuff and the ones that do freemium tend to be people who have got ample experience in watching the inputs and outputs of such businesses and so they know how to keep the books balanced without having infinity VC money
that infinity VC money is coming out of your taxes and costing you in inflation, because it's either government grants or banks issuing humongous risky loans
so, please, have some consciousness of what you are asking for, from an embryonic, crowdsourced social network, that is barely even working as a text message system let alone the one or three media hosting enterprises that exist
