I don't know how is the policy to upload or if they have a "free limit". They have nostr login and zap option and that is a huge advantage. anyways, I think is a much better alternative to Youtube and could be a good source of videos for SN.
Maybe you could write a guide on SN about how to use Flare and share videos on SN.
They charge for storage space. It's 10k sats for 2GB, which I'm sure I won't make back initially.
I don't mind subsidizing it a little bit, if it helps get people off of YT.

ofc storage is not cheap so the uploader must pay something. Another method that they can implement is sharing costs from earnings. For example if you do not have enough sats to pay to upload, you could say "ok this video will be with pay per view up until will accumulate x amount of sats to cover the costs". So viewers will pay per view and saths will be split between Flare and uploader, until are covering the costs. Then the uploader could switch to free view and just leave the V4V zaps activated. Flare got their part, uploader also could post his video.

It should embrace the Blossom spec, a layer build on top of Nostr for storing the video blobs (files).
But the developer of flare.pub (same applies to flockstr.com from the same dev) is not very active nor ambitious on further development.

Is there something more promising on the horizon?
reply
I think so, I'm tinkering with it ;-) Running a blossom mediaserver and a specific relay for transmitting the blossom nostr events which tells you on which servers a blob can be found.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to it.
