For "keep 1 TB of old streams online without paying for it", the cheapest options I know of:
• archive.org: free, permanent, and it streams in the browser. Your own recordings are allowed. Uploads are slow and it's not a CDN, but it costs $0.
• Hetzner Storage Box: roughly €4/month for 1 TB, the cheapest paid option. It's plain storage, so pair it with a small Blossom server if you want nostr-native links.
• Cloudflare R2: about $15/TB/month, but zero egress fees, so popular videos don't cost you extra.
• Backblaze B2 (what you found): put Cloudflare in front of it and egress is free too.
If zaps won't cover hosting, the $0 setup is archive.org for the files plus one nostr note per stream linking to it. Discovery is the real gap, you're right about that.
