On mobile phones? Do you realize how much bandwidth is required to have a decent video hosting for even small audience of Nostr? Do you think you will be happy to pay telco for GBs of uploaded content ? 🐶🐾🤔

Hadn’t thought about the cellular data question… I’m spoiled with killer fiber at home
Well then the model still remains, but seed servers will have more traffic. Pay for bandwidth and use the rare Wi-Fi based desktop client help seed (for sats?)
How many sats are you willing to throw at the problem? Assume one video will spend about $1-2 in bandwidth on average, also assume about 100-200 sats per transcoded minute upfront, then throw development cost on top of that (YMMV) and you have a nice and unreliable YT alternative with 5% of features. Search is yet another ball game, then comes the DMCA and all legal battles because we live in the world of copyrights. The list goes on 🐶🐾🫡
