## What Jamie wrote

I host all my blogs on micro.blog and in general think it is the best blogging solution on the market today. This new plan is a **big addition for video** that is really cool. The key here is to allow IndieWeb publishers to host their own video, without YouTube hosting everything that exists, and still have the performance be great. There is a lot of transcoding magic and slicing of video files needed to make that happen and micro.blog now does that with these Studio plans. While not for me, I love that this exists and is a step to publishing video that doesn't rely on Google (aka YouTube).
