(Yes, I understand SOMEONE has to pay for hosting all the files)

But why can't folks just use nostr.build to upload for free as I have above?

How does nostr.build make money from the tiktok client and dealing with the data?

Sell Adspace to businesses(similar to what FB does at the bottom of videos)

Oh, you don't want ads on your videos eh?

Pay $12/mo, and well never put another ad on your NosTok videos.

(Then they still have the option to actually buy a nostr build account ontop of that if they need it)

The "you gotta pay to post here" will never work. People want the opportunity to earn money online for content and are now to used to places for such being free. So if what we do isn't free to use, it's doomed from the start.

(Just my opinion)
