Question for smart folks/nostr devs:
Would it theoretically be possible for Rumble to become the mystical "Nostr video client" we've all been waiting for? I don't fully understand the technical back-end stuff/if a database that big could just flip the right switches and become "Nostr-integrated"
It seems like they've made quite a few based moves in recent years on the #Bitcoin + #V4V front. How cool would it be if they broke even more epic ground by adding Nostr to the stack... 👀 #asknostr
It would be huge. We have serveral NIPs they could utilize.
They could turn every Rumble account into a Nostr "account" and manage keys for existing users. They could add Nostr login for new Rumble users.
They could publish videos to Nostr relays with NIP-71. Comments could be NIP-22.
And they could add Zaps.
i think the issue is just that video hosting is really expensive, and apps that do it for "free" are usually monetizing/exploiting their users in really bad ways to offset the costs
All of this sounds pretty standard to me, is it not?
As a creator I'm cool with all of this; obviously a lot of Nostr folks dislike ads but like you said, video hosting is expensive so I feel most users would fully understand that trade-off
If they made a finished version of plebs.app faster than plebs.app gets finished itself, that could work
