More people will watch your video if it loads quickly. Media optimization for internet use is important. If something doesn't load quickly, people just move on.
Unlike centralized social media your videos aren't automatically optimized on Nostr. Her are some good tools to compress your videos for smaller size and better streaming before upload.

That's a good point. Maybe I should use Rumble.
This is all built into YouTube, Facebook, TikTok. Here we have to be our own compression algorithms.
Yes. Not having hls on Nostr is a huge drawback for Nostr video. No central server to process it into multiple formats & resolutions, then serve the correct one to clients. Vlogs are like a hellthread of multi GB videos 😂😭
On #nostr you get to be your own (video compression) algorithm
Exactly 🎯
Somewhat related subject, can these tools remove metadata as well?
Proton does by default. I'm sure it's possible with FFmpeg.
