It's not just users, It's our hosting services too, bandwidth adds up quick. Nostr needs HLS in the worst way, interest of static MP4.

Interestingly, if your MP4 encoded right, range reads kickin and you never download the full thing if you don’t watch it fully. So HLS is good (if you use ladders for quality) but GIFs and PFPs are a killer bandwidth suckers
But I need my 2mb avatar 😭
Yes ladders please so I can have hq when needed 🙏
Working on it now, did a prototype more than a year ago and it was good. Make sure amethyst supports HLS so I can automatically redirect for it
Technically we support, but I guess it depends on file formats and encodings.
