Indeed. Thanks for this explanation. Perhaps building a decentralized Youtube could be amongst the best developments to happen if or when it does. I think overtime perhaps this could be a reality. For now I think Youtube is perhaps the preferred platform despite centralization.
I agree and I'm a noob developer so I am looking into what it would take to make a YT clone on Nostr... I think it would work but 1) it would be a huge project outside of my expertise, and 2) integrating the CDN (like nostr.build) so that users can simply upload their videos inside the app would be all-important... But it's not settled yet exactly how clients can pull this off. Doesn't seem impossible tho. 3) Also, users might get fatigued really quickly on paying to store their content. This might be the worst stumbling block, in fact, even if it's really cheap.

Indeed. Youtube has thousands of videos. imagine having to pay a sat each time for a video to be uploaded. I think perhaps Bitcoin University said it best. Blockchain is best for money that is scarce and censorship-resistant. Maybe centralized platforms are best for most other content. As long as there is censorship-resistant money, that's ok perhaps. It gives people an option to use the money. Please see link below:
