it’s probably better to be live stream first… one can always “premier” a recorded video through a live stream and then drop the link to the video in the recording tag. Disincentivizes mass uploading of jacked content, unless you willing to host that yourself.

zap.stream probably has what it takes
I would like to see file relays, and maybe take a look at what web 3 is up to with decentralized streaming and walk it back from tokens.
I think we would be wise to encourage just using major distribution platforms, YouTube, twitch (the way that wavelake offers distribution through traditional channels) as there is discoverability of the whole system through that one creator found on Spotify or in this case on YouTube. The question arises, why does this streamer have 100 views and no one’s in chat, then they see the pinned comment, chat & donate on zap.stream. And YouTube & twitch (non-affiliate program) are totally ok with this.
in other words, use zap stream instead of streamelements, streamlabs, or socialbuzz, or for the boomers irc, until we figure out how to do this actually decentralized.
+1 , those costs alone make the person running the server look for income which leads to ads/algos everything not #Nostr
