PSA: let's try not to promote YouTube on Nostr at all. We have nostr.build and flare.pub for hosting video media.
If content creators aren't going to put their videos on Nostr, then fuck em, we'll do it for them.
Use this app to rip videos from YouTube, Twitter, or pretty much any other site:
https://github.com/deniscerri/ytdlnis/releases/tag/v1.7.1
Then use this app to compress the video for upload:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.aravi.compressor
If the file is under 100MB, you can upload it to Flare.
If it's larger, or if otherwise you just want it to play natively in most Nostr clients, you can upload it to nostr.build. You'll need a paid Nostr build account to upload large files, but you should have one of those anyways, fren. If you've been a Nostr build freeloader up until now, well now you have another reason to support them.
Fuck YouTube. Don't give them more traffic when we can host media natively on Nostr. LFG! 💜⚡🚀
Can’t believe more creators aren’t mentioning nostr on YouTube.
Nostr is still tiny and YouTube is gargantuan. Was having a discussion about that this morning. 10k daily active users vs 120M daily active users. YouTube is still king for video content creators. But we can start to change that.

agreed. #smij approved.
we should encourage people to drive traffic here from there. #grownostr

As much as I would love to see that, there is not enough revenue that the can generate here, compared to YT (if their channel is sufficiently big) 🐶🐾🫡
No competition yet. It's not the monetization model however, but rather a matter of scale. 10k daily active users vs 120M daily active users.
Very true. 🐶🐾🫡
The direct V4V model we have here will win in the end. 🚀
Maybe. People are less likely to pay for things they can get for free 🐶🐾🫡
That was the objection my musician friend gave. I didn't have a good response for him 🤷🏼♂️
Would be sick if someone built a client where this was automatic
How about breaking away from uploading content to a centralized location altogether?
I saw an L402 where you can literally download or stream any YouTube video and it just costs like 5 sats to prevent DDOS
Can't we integrate video torrents into nostr?
Isn't this what NIP 94 is for and kind 1063?
https://nostr-nips.com/nip-94
I don't know how to make a kind 1063 though.
Looks like it. Would be cool to see it in action
you actually don't need to even upload youtube videos to flare, you can just paste the link (the second option in upload) which will just embed it.
Obviously not ideal for anything serious as it'll just go down if youtube deletes / suspends account.
Do we have any idea what flare's policy will be re: copyrighted material that is uploaded tho? (maybe not an issue atm, but if it gets popular)
are you sure because its refusing to do youtube videos

there was an update since i posted this that gave a warning not to upload youtube videos that weren't yours, so i stopped. there may be another update that just stops youtube embeds altogether since then, not sure
I just rip the YouTube videos and upload them directly. Fuck em.

Fair enough:)
I doubt flare is on anyone's radar lol
Not yet. I'll be the reason why Zach starts getting hit with takedown requests eventually. Will it be an artist or music label? Or will it be Tucker Carson's lawyers? Who knows. Should start taking bets on this. 🤣
Do you know how to see your balance on flare? I uploaded one video but have no idea how many gbs I have left
No there's no way to know yet. He needs to add a storage meter to the account settings section. For now you just keep uploading until you hit your limit, and it will prompt you to buy more storage at that point. I gotta be pretty close. A few of my largest videos are just linked from Nostr build though.
I get the impression flare is a prototype anyway, not sure what the plan is for it, but don't see it growing beyond a fraction of most users lol
But you never know maybe there's some automated crawlers or whatever looking for stuff to take down
I did actually tag him in a previous post about his thoughts on this, but got no reply.
We talked about it the other day.

Lol I see.
I also noticed there's no way of taking down my own videos (which I've just linked from YouTube, not uploaded) to even help him lol.
I think the potential issue even with embeds would be about being able to tip the person adding, rather than the actual creator of the content (?)
(Tbh I'd still really like to see a massive funded project like odysee, but somewhat unlikely and a huge task.)
Have you checked out peertube?
Yes can't delete the Nostr event of course but there needs to be a way to delete the hosted media file.
Receiving payment for media that is not yours is probably going to be problematic eventually when it gets noticed.
There's a couple full concerts that I posted where I put a link to the artist's merch site in the description. That seems fair to me.
Yeah I thought, yeah you can't delete event, but you could take it off of flare(?)
Maybe this is solvable with using relays that accept deletions, like that 'nos' client feature? 🤔
RIP VIDEOS. WE'RE JUST BUILDING A FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. GFY.

This looks amazing and thanks for this Note to help educate all of us. #Nostr #BTC amazing
Some people are desesparate. Just earn ur content creators.
That the way.
Noted . I’ve been having problems with flare been trying to do this same thing from last week. But I also share a lot of YouTube videos. I apologize
UPDATE:
I just noticed this morning that Flare bumped up the max file size from 100MG to 2GB, meaning you can upload pretty much any video now! 🔥🚀
