I think they are just generating fingerprints of the video data on the device. Then they send it to the cloud where they compare it with a huge database of TV shows, etc. Similar to what Shazam does for music.

They probably didn’t even have to scrape it… Sam Altman is still chairman of the board of directors of Y Combinator.

It also happens every time it retries, so it spends most of the time doing nothing. Retrying after 60 seconds... Is that really normal? The downloads from reddit work fine, but if the upload doesn't work then I don't see

React was significantly better than Angular (version 1). Please don't pretend it was merely NIH syndrome that led to its creation.
