I would prefer views, to be honest. For example if some arbitrary content is stored for 2 months without anyone ever watching it, that feels reasonable for me to remove it, no one is watching it. Some video that is actually serving a purpose being culled just because of the arbitrary hour limit feels to me, a less reasonable stance.
In practice though I doubt this makes a huge difference either way, the vast majority of the people that can have noticeable amount of views on such already have their YouTube channels or other venues they are also making money from.
- vasco 2y agoIt says on the thing they will remove based on views, lowest first, to meet the quota.
- jayd16 2y agoSeems like that policy would generate fake views.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoThen there will be an army of bots inflating view counts.
- genewitch 2y agothis seems really trivial to detect. dump current viewcounts of all VOD into a table somewhere, and then check however often you feel like to see if any of the ones with less than one view per unit of time you decide, are now getting many views. Tell user "stop that".
