when you post your YouTube video to nostr it can’t be suppressed

YouTube becomes just your video storage with a share link

I never share direct YouTube links for this reason (unless giving a source).

I yt-dlp the video and stick it in a bucket then share that link.

Ofc that's not super decentralised either. But I could put it on Arweave, IPFS, etc for decentralised storage.

Fr. I use it all the time. Only failed to work on two websites. It works on everything else I've thrown at it.

Haha, you'd think this, but they remove content all of the time. Most of the time it's ot even on purpose. It's their over aggressive content moderation tools that need to be seriously looked at and overhauled.

Yep their moderation algo eats comments too.

No joke on this: whenever I post a comment with "Davos" in it, it gets shadowbanned. It shows for my account, but not if I open the thread in a private browsing session.

For most people (anyone except super big "YouTubers") ad revenue on YouTube is pretty much nothing anyway.

If you've produced something for the Nostr audience you'll probably make more in sats from zaps.
