 You can use other file/media servers than nostr.build and the other few big ones. You just have to have yours added to a whitelist.

I think. 
 I seeee. Is this what people mean by nostr-as-file hosting? It's v likely I'm confused lol. I think this includes no AWS hosting? Self-hosting or something? (I really don't know what's going on, I must stress this some more lolol). 
 Yes, the notes (on the relays) don't contain the images, the media servers do. 
 best filehosting is twitter (its free & no storage limit lol) upload your pic/vid to a throwaway/random account, get the link and post it on nostr. still dont know why nostr devs just doesnt come up with an automation to do this in one click tho 
 Suppose they want to avoid that, in case in goes down or otherwise compromised, or somehow stops working?. But sounds good to me, in a 'good enough' throw away way lol, for not very important stuff. 
 heres an example this is a video from elons tweet, straight from x on nostr https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1744383232324296704/pu/vid/avc1/720x1280/kU1ZtFhDWPZQJBBL.mp4

 We left Twitter to control our content not link the parts that are convenient for us. Furthermore it seems you need to use nostr.build or Damus as there are multiple media hosts that provide a seamless integration 
 but unless you host your pics/vids on your own server, you dont have control of them anyway, i know you guys dont like twitter then why not make use of their free storage and bandwith lol 
 There is no monetary expense, correct. 

I know you don’t like your x, but why not get hook up from time to time? I mean it's free 
 It's a good solition if youre poor? (Like meeee). 
But afaik nostrbuild is free? Not sure what limits it has, i just use it via clients? Not friend uploading, say a full movie there or whatever. And in this example I'm not sure how twitter would handle that, autodetect copyright infringements with films/music? But then again, won't nostrbuild potentially run into these problems too? 
 copyright infringement will always be a cat and mouse thing, there are people posting an entire movie on twitter like this which is weird https://x.com/MyMovieHQ/status/1745039037692293381 
 Had to double check that The Bricklayer was a real film (it is).

 I'm surprised twitterx don't have autodetect. I have a feeling they used to have music detection on videos in the past. Could be wrong. 
 also surprised regular accounts can upload 60+ minutes videos 
 yes, that is surprising 
 I think people won't use Twitter, on principle. But you could use any other corporate social media system, really. 
 Umm nostr.build  is the best image/picture host NOT TWITTER HAHAHAHA
