Replying to 5192b2e2...

The post went a little off-topic as to what platforms doing this will be (still getting accustomed to the Nostr client being used), but in general this methodology may also count for any Nostr born platforms.

All good, was a quite informative tangent tho!

I use LibreTube on my phone, but haven't found a good alternative for the desktop yet...

Note that there is also alternative services to YT such as Odyssey. Otherwise LibreTube seems to use Piped API under the hood.

I haven't tried Odysee yet. I did try LIBRY for a little while, but their UI confused me, so I dropped it real fast. xD

...but for some reason, there was pr0n ripped straight from a famous hub, right there. xD That was such a weird sight...

Agreed.

All these things fail because they don’t have distribution; which is what nostr gives you.

Same reason for which vimeo and those other YouTube’s don’t work, because they compete head-on against YouTube on YouTube’s turf.

Nostr competes in a very roundabout way by improving distribution across the board, not on a use case-by-use case basis (same reason why Spotify tries to get you to create a social graph and fails miserably)

Fully agreed, in comparison to Mastodon as an example Nostr is clearly superior. The emphasis was on alternative services as a bridge that start the process, which is simply something that can been observed recently. Ultimately these services do not offer the resilience and flexibility for widespread usage.

sounds good. but pardon me if ive been under a rock, but where can i watch any of these nostr streams? are they accessible like youtube after the live event ended? this sounds fun.
