I agree that HIVE is currently the best censorship resistant platform. How are images and videos hosted across all the servers?

3Speak is about to release an open-source desktop app that makes spinning up an IPFS node as easy as hitting play on a video. We will store only videos/images as Hive handles the text fine. Our next objective is a decentralized incentive layer built on top of Hive layer 2. I would like your feedback if you have a little time to read through a short version of our goals. https://hive.blog/speak/@theycallmedan/the-speak-network-incentive-layer-hive-fest
We are very deep into this, and a lot of planning has been done; if you would like to lend a hand, we would be thrilled, or maybe just look under the hood of what we have going on. Cheers.
We've just got to increase the number of witnesses by a factor of 10 ASAP (and they need to be evenly spread out all over the [free] world).
I have an idea ... build the better version of Qora you said you could build when we suggested it on the BitShares forum 5 years ago, prior to Steem's existence. AFAICT it was a very similar solution to what you outline in this post.
Its already been built, peeranha.io
We have 2 images proxy instances I know of, one run by us at Ecency,
images.ecency.com, and another run by @blocktrades team atimages.hive.blog.While not ideal, you can host images and videos via ipfs and create the links to those in a Hive post. As taskmaster mentioned, 3speak is already in process of creating a system of compensation to encourage providing this to the network
For apps, ecency (formerly esteem) has come a very long way. They have a website and are in the appstores, but they are also all open source with apps for ios, android, macos, linux, and windows

While it's great that Ecency is open source, I am a bit vary about them hosting them on the Microsoft owned github.
I encourage everyone to download a copy of the source code

https://twitter.com/_foxon_/status/1347729006469107713Github is a medium that hosts public code for many to access, if they block or remove it, we can host same code on any other git services. We already have copy of all code.
That's really good to know.
I read about an intriguing decentralized solution to the git problem a while ago. It might be of an interest to you.
Both are still decentralized but 3Speak is bringing out a new system that will decentralize the video hosting in a manner like you described by having individual hard drives seed the videos.
Fixed it for you.
Thanks.
3Speak is addressing "only" videos but should probably do the same for image hosting as well. The same infrastructure and incentive program they build for videos could probably work well for images and would solve our dependency on centralized image hosting. Who wants to read a 100% text post, after all images are deleted due to censorship attempts by the government?
Image hosting will be tackled as well, as thumbnails are used extensively on 3Speak. Both image and video will be handled by the 3Speak desktop app in a decentralized manner.
Best news ever.
Hoping to get my personal photo album on the blockchain using base64.
( Proof of concept )
