 When I started I posted regularly with an eye to adding value in hots it would grow. I’m not tech savvy. But it was easy I just followed the prompts and I could share anything. Apparently hosting videos at scale is expensive and I was no longer able to share videos I wanted. I have tried subscribing to paid relays but not only did they not end up allowing me (with my limited tech knowledge) to share video content, they were expensive for a guy like me: casual user. I wouldn’t balk if I were a company. I’m surprised I can’t pay to simply host a video and then pay again to host another. 

Nostr will grow from many efforts and one is addressing problems like this so Nostr just works OR resources are available and findable for folks like me to overcome these problems. 
 You can pay nostr.build to host your content and longer videos. There’s also software you can run yourself, but paying nostr.build or another image host is a simple solution. I believe if you post with primal or satellite.earth they’ll use their CDN.  
 Thanks!  Nostr.build isn’t connecting but my point wasn’t to ask for help (but I appreciate it!). If we want Nostr to grow, and I do, the information you have there needs to be readily available and people who are used to just tweeting can make the information work. crApple didn’t just market and grow well but they had a product and ecosystem people could access easily. I know these are still early days but that is where we need to get for broad adoption.
