You seem to have missed that this is a science-communication video aimed to help lay-people understand APIs, standards, online abuse, privacy issues, and how automation is playing into the issues we have in society stemming from social media.
- ggambetta 7y agoI don't think that changes the fact that the gimmick, that gives the name to the video and the submission in HN, is pretty unimpressive.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoWho said it has to be impressive? It's simply something fun that relates to the deeper dive he takes in the video.
- danpalmer 7y agoI'd go further and say that it needs to be simple above all else, to help communicate the message. Confusing that with the ideas of video editing/compositing and uploading would make the message less effective.
