Awesome stuff. It's like my own personal, curated video channel! In your slider bar for how much time you have, I would recommend having some dynamic text above the dot displaying how much time I have selected. It's a bit confusing trying t

It seems like PG wants people to vote on the content with less biases than before i.e. not knowing how it's been voted. If you now introduce the bias of how you have typically voted for that user, once it again it may affect how you vote fo
