Who else on here are content creators looking for a decentralized, censorship-resistant way to post videos, music, etc?

The website I was talking about doesn't work, so I'm out of options in my search for a decentralized, censorship-resistant way to post videos, music, etc.

A temporary solution would be for people to organize, which I'm pretty sure people can't do, but I'll try to plant the seedy seed since I have no better ideas right now.

2-step plan:

1. I ask nostr who else is looking for a decentralized, censorship-resistant way to post videos, music, etc.
2. I get killed by the military industrial complex immediately.

If that doesn't work, I have a longer 5-step plan I can branch into at step 2.

5-step plan:

1. Ask nostr who else is looking for a decentralized, censorship-resistant way to post videos, music, etc.
2. Establish a group of contacts with enough seeding capability to have good uptime collectively, even if each of us don't have good uptime individually. Meanwhile, balance the value of gathering momentum and being early, against the value of not personally working with anyone I don't want to work with (too many people are denialists and I don't trust them).
3. Discuss technical details like file sizes, transcoding, how to seed from different devices, etc.
4. Plan a day where we all post our shit as torrents on nostr and seed each other's torrents. Again, we do this hoping we can collectively start something with decent reliability and uptime, even if each individual can only seed sporadically.
5. Promote what we're doing on nostr, and maybe wherever else we expect to find people interested in posting, seeding, or simply downloading stuff this way.

If this works, it's still only a temporary solution, because it could grow increasingly unreliable and biased in favor of early adopters, which could potentially end up with newer content creators being more suppressed in this environment than on YouTube. An engineering solution is still needed to not only have P2P video hosting, but also systemically incentivize and maintain it. Grassroots organizing and engineering work will each be fruitless here without the other.
