I think for my next project I’m gunna be looking into setting up topic focused search engines, particularly for substance use and harm reduction.

Doesn’t seem too hard, has anyone ever done something like this? Curious about overhead costs and the like.
Well viewers by country would require an external service in order to be reliable to my knowledge. I think it’s possible to anonymize while also retaining the portion needed for origin lookup.
Everything else seems fairly trivial since you connect to the instance and they send you data. It can all be metricized based off data sent, rewinds/skips (in the case of audience engagement), simultaneous connections/peers, etc. There’s probably multiple ways to obtain this data really and I’m glad they are getting it! Pretty minor data that has a lot of use to creators in exchange for using the service is a-okay for me but that’s just my opinion.
I found some more detail in the github for how they check view count, could probs find more if you dug around:
Not sure if you’re aware or not but you can disable scores in your personal profile settings.
I think a simple video editor is only an enhancement. All it does is let you add watermarks, change start/end time and add an additional video intro. All of these really surround content protection and legal liabilities.
Seems like the feature could also save admins some overhead by swapping bandwidth for re-uploads to CPU power for transcoding. If there’s ways to limit how often videos can be edited or allow admins to shut it off with a toggle that would be ideal.
Mine will keep sucking until the hair has filled up so much it pushes out of the shoot on the bottom and then it just keeps going as if everything is fine in the world. Advertised as for pets but cant remember the suction power off the top of my head. There’s also a filter that needs to be cleaned or you lose suction.
