In a month of posting content on Nostr via nostr:nprofile1q9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx96r2amr8p5rxdm4dp4kzafew3ehwwpjwd48smnywycrgepndcu8qd3nx36hguryvem8xdr5d56hsmt5xfehzemtxejxkeflvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82egprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqqsfnz2sqsflkatdssmeztxr90s8xrd7r07xkhfwaa6eu9zkcguljpg0va3vj I've used 33gb of storage space
It's mainly clips of the podcast
Really highlights how much heavy lifting that the likes of IG, X, & YT etc do for you
They make it so easy
But at what cost?
Well it's simple
YOU'RE THE PRODUCT!
The real world costs associated with posting all this information is handled by the social media company, in favour of incentivising more usage, but also in exchange for control
You're on their land
They can kick you off anytime
So instead, here we are on Nostr
I've happily spent just over $400 aud on an annual 100gb storage package with nostr:nprofile1q9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx96r2amr8p5rxdm4dp4kzafew3ehwwpjwd48smnywycrgepndcu8qd3nx36hguryvem8xdr5d56hsmt5xfehzemtxejxkeflvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82egprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqqsfnz2sqsflkatdssmeztxr90s8xrd7r07xkhfwaa6eu9zkcguljpg0va3vj
Can't wait to see the creator ecosystem proliferate over here
Indeed I'd be very interested to see what investments can be made
Onwards
From the looks of it, your video dimensions and bit rate is pretty high for web viewing. It looks like most of them are 1920x1080 at 800 kbit/s = 96MB in size
I download one and compressed it to half the size 960x540 and lowered the bitrate to 300 kbit/s = 35 MB in size

I have linked the 35MB compressed version. Can you tell a difference on mobile?
Thanks Logen! It still comes across well on mobile. I’ll look into this
🙏🏻
Your welcome! Thanks for the zap!
I used the app Permute on MacOS to downscale the video file. I can make a video to show you how if it would help 🫡
I agree with Logan, it will still look good on mobile at a higher compression rate, but even more accessible to people with lower bandwidths.
