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! 💜⚡🚀
