This is the thing that would motivate me to upgrade my nostr experience. There's a gajillion doodadamajigs all y'all techy peeps are doing and it just looks too fiddly to interest me. But a truly FOSS replacement for YouTube? Yes.

What happened to flare pub?

Seems easy to upload videos so I feel like this should be solvable

Costs a lot.

But honestly I think it’s better to have low quality 720/1080 than not have it at all.

Maybe 720 is manageable.

Hit nail on head.

Economics need to line up.

Hard to find a way to fund video streaming without ads.

I’m down to contribute to something like this!

Just tried Flare and it doesn't seem to be working.

I think I recall hearing the project was abandoned.

Break YouTube and something will replace it. How does one break YouTube?

It is already broken...

Operationally broken not philosophically broken.

How many 4k videos of cloud watching or paint drying does it take to shut YouTube?

Duck Player on DDG is great! I bet that’s a friendship waiting to happen.

90% of creators wouldn’t be able to afford the hosting costs

Needs a lot of cashu scaffolding, 1 or 2 years of dev I'd guess. If I'm a creator and my 10 minute HD video goes viral and gets the equivalent of100k views end-to-end, I can't be on the hook for $1,000 in CDN costs. Of course a video getting 100k views implies a much larger user base, but it's chicken and egg, and the cashu stuff would have to be done anyway (x milli-sats per second viewed, all background, something like that).

I was looking for a nostr pipewire. An front-end for youtube and nostr as back end for invidious
