Even in this one sentence you're conflating two types of interaction. Surely downloading videos is yet a third, and possibly the rest of the assets on the site a fourth.
Why not just say the exact problem you think is worth of discussion with your full chest if you so clearly have one in mind?
- TZubiri 2y agoI'd make a distinction on: -the entropy of the data: a video is orders of magnitude than browsing metadata. - the compute required: other than an ML algorithm optimizing for engagement, there's no computationally intensive business domain work (throughput related challenges dont count) - finally programming complexity, in terms of business domain, is not there. I mean my main argument is that a video provider is a simple business requirement. Sure you can make something simple at huge scale and that is a challenge. Granted.
