The biggest hurdle we have is painless video uploads. Free services are limited in file size/video length and payed services require bitcoin and an upfront investment. In terms of apps: Amethyst (Android) already has a vertical video view, iOS clients still need some work for better video UX. Video creation is not a priority IMHO. Either the TikTok app or other video apps can be used for that.
I don’t think it is a priority [yet] because everyone is just trying to replace Twitter. But we are seeing that social media platforms are all about video posts. TikTok came and now we have reels on IG and shorts on YouTube. It must be everyone else’s priority for a reason. @ian is working on the promoted note network and it would bring revenue into nostr. For users, clients, and more. https://github.com/Promoted-Note-Network/promoted-note-network I see it as the way to eventually fund video uploads.
The “pain” is from the “free” delusion that most TikTok users have. https://i.nostr.build/sKHe0bOt2Cfotd9R.jpg
