 I decided to upload some of my past work to Nostr, to ensure it’s documented and exists for future generations. 
I understand all my content can be deleted from centralized systems at any moment. 
I’ll be uploading some of my videos and thoughts in coming weeks. 
 way to go 
 On nostr you are at the mercy of the relays too... 
 Yes true. But being decentralized is a lower risk right? 
 Yes, and you can hold your content on your own relay, in addition. 
 Certainly, yes. 
 For text notes yes (they are decentralized on nostr), as the are stored on multiple relays and can be easily duplicated and spread.

For media (images / video) we are not there yet. I assume you uploaded to nostr.build so your content is only hosted with them. It is still be better than to rely solely on the corporate platforms.

It is not easily solved as there is always storage and bandwidth costs attached with media.  Still, we are working on better storage options (e.g. the blossom protocol) to decentralize media as well. 
 I get it. I understand the challenge with media files.  It’s not immune yet, but better than centralized. 
 Unless you run your own.

If you run your own. 
You will always have your events and can simply rebroadcast iirc 
 Thank you. 
 This is one of the main reasons NOSTr needs to exist.  So that information doesn't get thrown down the 'memory hole'  🕳️ 
 This is the way …

After vacation I’ll probably get my act together & start working on a project 
 What's even more important imo is hosting your own notes, no relay will be here forever.
