Say a journalist was just arbitrarily banned from YouTube (for not sufficiently self-censoring).
What freedom tech tools would you recommend to this journalist?
Journalist’s job-to-be-done:
1) host videos publicly
2) allow for viewing of videos
3) allow for public sharing of videos
4) allow for social commentary
Is there such a toolkit built on nostr today?
Journalist has his a journalism website & business.

Check Hive, its even easy to crosspost on Yakihonne or similar since its markup.
Link?
Censorship resistant video hosting powerd by Hive.
Can also use https://v4v.app/ if you'd prefer to convert your Hive to BTC.
The other cool thing about 3Speak is nostr:npub18hz8xs2tafx7rhclzukrr94gypcemw6ch2hcwe9eak4q03k4a8wq2wfmgv (the creator of v4v.app) made a 3speak to RSS bridge, so the videos are available in any podcast player that supports video.
Here's a bunch of them that get returned from the Podcast Index directory.
Seems like a nice touch, thanks for posting
1. What convinces you it's censorship resistant?
2. What is "hive" / being "powered by" it?
nostr:npub18hz8xs2tafx7rhclzukrr94gypcemw6ch2hcwe9eak4q03k4a8wq2wfmgv convinces me. I don't know enough about it to argue one way or another, but if Brian says it is, that's good enough for me.
Didn't know who that was until now but his endorsement is a red flag for me since he defends #Israel nostr:nevent1qqsd8wedu4ka9ztjh97shvz95lka3j35cgm457xhsvjvpfch66xg35gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsrm3rng9975n0pmu03wtp3j65zquvahdvt4tu8vju7m2s8cm27nhqrqsqqqqqpddglpc
nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr what’s the recommended and/or maximum file size for blossom?
Say journalist has a GB(s) size hour long video. Is #blossom a good fit for storing this video?
Blossom does not have multipart uploads, so at the moment it might be difficult to even upload a large video.
You could convert it to HLS chunks, but then keeping it online would become much more difficult
Torrents are probably the best way to go for large videos, but they don't work in the web browser 😞
They're probably gonna need to transcode it to a smaller size to get viewers because nostr won't do that for them like YouTube would
Nostr.build works currently
True, but you are just trading one third-party media host for another that you hope will be more lenient.
That said, I think nostr.build WILL be more lenient, because they aren't getting funded primarily by advertisers. But it's only a matter of time before there are other outside pressures and take-down requests, etc.
