I know I’m going to get a lot of shit for promoting Ethereum push channels as a substitute for Youtube subscriptions that aren’t as sensitive to time, to compliment Nostr’s substitute for a fast trending Twitter. But there’s 3 main points,
First) We’re offering Bunny CDN for off-platform (out of our control) videos, and they accept Bitcoin only. So nobody is forcing you into anything. Even if other things are offered in the future (like IPFS or Arweave), you will always have a BTC option to pay.
Second) It helps, not hurts, Nostr to spread its exposure and use. If you think the global townsquare is going to be a repetitive echo chamber, you are blind to the diversity of thought and prevent Nostr’s adoption. You’d think the people into censorship resistance would not be into censoring ideas. There’s real tech value here, in having a whole new DNS system.
Third) The real enemy is Google. If you clown on me for trying this, then turn around and post to Youtube, you have lost the Cypherpunk way.
So before you curse me out, consider watching our tutorial on what it even is,

Many think of ETH as a shitcoin, myself I think of it as another tool in the toolbox.
Technology Agnosticism is a good thing.
I even have Windows on some of my machines because it simply does certain things better & easier than Linux. (eg. HAM radio stuff)
I personally use YouTube for business purposes, but that's the extent of why I have it. Otherwise, Free Software and Cypherpunk methods are the way to go. It's simple as that.
