Question for you technical nostriches smarter than me

Wouldn’t paid pinning services for IPFS relays work like paid relays for Nostr? Instead of uploading to Nostr.build, couldn’t we be creating an IPFS file that could be mirrored multiple places, all for a small fee for a specified amount of time?

Or if not IPFS (I understand @fiatjaf​ is not a fan), then WebTorrent?

I really want this to exist so I can begin uploading my video work in a persistent way to Nostr-only

Like, I could post this and it would be accessible and if that host/gateway ever went down, the CID could be put into a different one, right? What am I missing?

We absolutely need to be building a TikTok replacement

100%. As I understand WebTorrent probably scales better than IPFS but I’m just a cartoon frog
