RE: Steemit for videos? Steemtube? [Brainstorm and discussion] 14/09/16

in #steemtube8 years ago

Honestly not far, I only have a placeholder page online for now.

I actually played around with a temporary page for it in the early hours of this morning based on the idea of "popular videos from the last x hours" by extracting urls from posts + using youtube search api which I think could be worth pursuing..
Needs more noggin time to figure out the most efficient way to go about this, with as little overhead as possible

Sort:  

"Now its getting more interesting :) There are a few competitors in the crypto space at the moment for paywalled access to stored content, but I don't see why we couldn't figure out a way to make the idea work in theory even just as an experiment..

I spent some time experimenting with the youtube search api today and theres already a lot of automated spammy marketing videos being churned out daily messing up search results.."

Exactly, content is not always made for user engagement, im sure most videos up there are just used for back-linking and SEO.. that's puts alot of pressure on the servers..

Please do keep me posted with your project!
Good luck!
