Well, Nostr sort of passed the YouTube buck back to the users, by requiring them to host their own videos. Services are the biggest cost, not software, so we can turn a profit at a much lower price point.
And a lot of people who upload content to YouTube pay for Premium because YT is a pain to use, otherwise. And I suspect premium users are less-likely to get censored or have their stuff removed to free up disk space.
Everyone who has our premium subscription will also automatically get our media server, for example, as we'll put their publication images in there when converting, unless they say otherwise. And only they can use the converter, as conversion is expensive. Same with semantic (image) searches, deep search, grammar checks, translations, exporting publications, etc. Anything that is a service can just get cut off or redirecting to your own service. <

It's the same with YT or Spotify. I don't even notice the Premium features, until I try to use it without logging in on a computer and then it's like...
?🤔 Where is the button for..?
