Flare.pub is overpriced. YouTube is free convenient upload. Self hosting or file servers is too complicated for people that just record/edit/publish with tools they know.

But YT isn’t free. You are the product.
Talking about nostr on YouTube and other platforms probably helps spread the word. So I actually think it's a good thing. Also there aren't many people here.
Of course it does but they don't drive them here. they drive people from nostr to those platforms to watch their content there not vice versa.
Ideally you'd have a scenario of a content creator ending their YouTube video with you can also follow me on nostr, or some such thing.
or restream FROM Zapstream TO youtube and animate your audience to join the chat on Zapstream (just as one example). Instead, they ignore the ZS chat because they're busy weith their YT, Twitch and X restream chat.
This is quite common already even outside of Nostr. A lot of people stream on multiple platforms, rumble, twitch, yt. Rumble chat seems most ignored on a lot of streams I've seen. But merely mentioning is a good thing to spread the word and all that. Even if it is in a small way. I've never used Entropy for example, but I've heard of it cos people multistreaming often mention it
That's a lame excuse. satellite.earth and nostr.build storage is cheap and easy to use. I see what some of our influencers are doing. They stream on the cheapest zapstream plan (their way to support developement). They share their legacy social links here instead of driving their audience to nostr. No they drive nostr users to other platforms. They don't support the developers, they're here to monetarise on the audience just the same as they do on X or other platforms.
Hypocrites
The fiat equivalent of the advanced plan on nostr.build is 250000 sats -> $157 for 100GB of storage.
YouTube price: $0
Dropbox price: $120 (20x the storage)
pCloud price: $50 (50x the storage)
It will take time to convince people to use stuff that is more expensive, less convenient
Looks similar but not apples to apples.. Can’t just look at storage, no acct user I know have has hit their limit.
What’s way more important are the features the above don’t offer:
- no ads (YouTube premium = $168)
- 3 AI Image generator models (DallE= $240 / midjourney = $96)
- nip96/98 - direct integration with nostr apps (only nostr.build)
- Strip location/metadata (Dropbox and iCloud don’t offer this)
- Global CDN (Dropbox and iCloud don’t offer this)
- 24/7 online, personalized support directly from the devs 👋 (try that with any of the above)
And we don’t sell your data or remove ‘controversial’ media ;)
I hope you remove kid porn, morals should still persist
Like Carlos stated, that’s beyond controversial.
Not only do we remove it, we report it and all evidence to authorities including NCMEC. We do daily reviews of all content just for that. If from nostr, we remove all of their related media and block their npub. Even AI generated smut..
No exceptions whatsoever. If I could find some of those sick fucks I would take care of them myself..
We're solving that latter problem (self-hosting and file servers being too complicated) at vaporware.network . Early access should be available to people within the year.
Also look at flare's front page, it is pretty much only for nostr people. It's half a page of a bitcoin advert. It's very poor imo
it also doesnt do search very well
Yeah I suppose that's solvable (no idea lol). But imagine you went to odysee and half the page is an advert for their shitcoin, and most of the videos are AI image thumbnailed videos about their shitcoin. That's what flare looks like.
Imo again lol
Flare is slow for me :( I agree the bitcoin add should go already. Make it friendly to all and improve performance 💪

Is there an alternative for Nostr right now or flare.pub it right now? Besides standard posting videos to notes I mean.
