I’ve seen people here say they’d like a Nostr app like TikTok for video. I’ve even thought that at times. Throughout the election season, I spent a fair amount of time browsing other social media apps, including Tiktok. I hadn’t used it in a couple years and I hate it now compared to what it used to be. It is essentially this generation’s “Home Shopping Network.” Nothing but constant ads, even from people who “aren’t advertising.” This isn’t really surprising, I guess, but it’s a horrendous user experience. Whatever improvements can be made on nostr for video publishing and consumption, PLEASE don’t make it into another TikTok. 😩

Slowly working on it.

What’s needed is a suite of tools so that any kind of video app can be built on top of nostr - from TikTok streams, progressive VODs, to event streams.

The tools need to allow for a ton of ways to market/charge for the content, while still being optimized for content ownership. This is tough, but I’ve got some theories I’m testing out.

Finally, I think to truly make a lot of the incumbents obsolete, there needs to be a mechanism for managing the consumption of content. This means tracking - but it doesn’t have to mean divulging your identity!

My goal is secure, anonymous video distribution that decentralized over time via consumption.

I want to kill the media industry by putting their power in everyone’s hands. And I want to do it for free.
