The problem with all these self hosted options is you lose all the incredible tools from YouTube and other centralized providers. Playback speed, auto captioning, end cards, analytics on watch time, discovery algorithms, etc

Nobody is building a proper YouTube for a decentralized world. 

There have been slight attempts like Flare, but I have asked multiple times for help setting it up and have gotten nowhere with finding any documentation or peer help

Until then I try my best with self-hosting but it only makes sense for short form content or livestreaming 

 videos (recorded / live) backend CDN is expensive n complex should be kept outside of core wss n txt based nostr codes. use any or combo of options keepit simple
- self-host in own hardware - nostrcheck.me or other foss code or service
- use paid service - nostr.build, satellite.earth , flare.pub, primal, current n others
- use ad-based youtube rumble
 

 Have you looked at https://d.tube/ 

 I know so many people asking about this. Hopefully someone builds something soon because they’re censoring so many people
