My request is that we go to the effort of using the resource, and stop defaulting to youtube. @aquietinvestor I don’t recommend youtube links. Things like “Shielded Dialogues” and “Zcash Walkthroughs” ought to _at least_ be optionally available on @skyl 's: > **[Free2Z: Support Creators. Raise Money.

there was a filesize limit afaik. so longer videos not always possible atm. ---

Maybe we should pay for longer videos with ZEC? ---

I was about to approve this, but then I don’t think it supports RSS? If it doesn’t support RSS it makes it very unpractical to get notified of new videos using one’s RSS tool of choice. ---

I really want for what we offer to be accessible to non-nerds, unlike ourselves. > Accessing these feeds is straightforward. Users can simply append the relevant path to the Free2Z base URL. For instance, to access the AI Insights feed for a user ‘john\_doe’, the URL would be `https://free2z.com/feeds/john_doe/ai/recent.xml`. That’s nerdy. I can just add `https://www.youtube.com/@shieldedlabs` to my RSS reader and that’s it. Any way it could work the same? Are you maybe just missing the equivalent of this? `` ---

I think that adding a video post type would help, with a custom video player. Bandwidth wise, CloudFlare R2 works well for video hosting and supports 4K. The main cost would be for video encoding compute, or for a user to upload a set of pre-encoded HLS files for each playlist. The moment you use a third party cloud host/CDN for video hosting and encoding, costs skyrocket. Should be trivial to port the search API with a video filter to a video RSS feed. I can open-source a local video encoding pipeline together with URL signed playlist endpoints that work with auth (can have anonymous auth pending bandwidth cost also). I like the idea of experimenting with paying for or sponsoring video bandwidth with ZEC, maybe via an IPFS HTTP gateway. ---

Awesome, what is the process for videos to be uploaded to the account. We need an easy way for everyone to contribute. ---
