Idk if blossom is the tech for that
I posted about how to take on YouTube a while ago, thought about making a dev bounty for it but couldn't find a good enough platform for posting dev bounties

quoting nevent1q…gnulI hope someday nostr will kill YouTube with simple piracy 🏴☠️
Just decentralize hosting, indexing, and searching of YouTube's library. Make a bittorrent-based app that lets you search YouTube and when you pick a video to watch, the app automatically checks if the video is available as a torrent, and if a torrent isn't available, you can download it from YouTube directly, add it to the torrent index, and start seeding.
quoting nevent1q…dfa3To be clear, the part of this nostr would be useful for is the index.
The rest of it is just bittorrent and a YouTube frontend.
quoting nevent1q…xve4Thinking about this more, we're 95% of the way there already - nostr already indexes bittorrent infohashes, and there are already YouTube frontends.
It might help if nostr's bittorrent indexing added a text field for YouTube video ID (watch?v=id)
To credit original creators, the client could also use a new npub for every upload, with an automatically-generated kind 0 profile called "@youtubehandle reposter" (replacing youtubehandle as appropriate)
I might have to make a bounty for this, we're so close. A bounty might not even be needed though, surely I'm not the only one thinking of this?
