I'll be the first to admit that I use and abuse YouTube as a sort of search engine to research different topics, but I think this old note from BenniBTC is entirely correct. A lot of content could just be streamed audio and a PDF.

Instead of a PDF, a long-form note on Nostr would work too. Not being super well-informed about all of the different NIPs out there, I'm not sure if Nostr could handle the audio content too?

Alternatively, does anyone know how #Reticulum (and by extension #Nomadnet) would work for this type of model?
most youtube content could easily just be audio only + pdf instead.

and with nostr always getting better at promoting high signal content no matter what medium, we stop being forced to always produce video.

this way we will already save a ton of storage and bandwith.

...I'm also looking forward to what keet.io is building, they might be part of the solution. not sure when, but they are close to releasing technology to stream hq video p2p to tens of thousands.
