Currently, I also post my videos to my website and the video files are hosted on vimeo. It's a nice system so people can watch ad free without all the YouTube nonsense. This also allows me to post to Flare and other Nostr related services.
Even given this choice though, the VAST majority still use YouTube because it's so convenient. Hopefully as Nostr apps improve, and hosting your own videos continues to get easier and cheaper, this will improve.
I have been trying to do more videos and have a go at YouTube but with my 69 subscribers, I’m not convinced it will get anywhere but then the other side of my brain, the fuck it side which in the past has led me to mischievous things, feels that with some consistent effort for awhile and ignoring the numbers until I reach the 500 people threshold, I will probably be on a good trajectory?
I do however have decent growth on Substack for my Modulations newsletter which is about electronic music on the iPad and a second newsletter called “Rambling Photographer” and stand a better chance with those.
Apart from that keen to do more with Nostr, as the technological advances here are unhindered by corporate strategy but by those who want to make a difference to the world.
I’m excited for the opportunity here.
