edit: wild I just realized take off is 50 minutes from now... what had I been watching?? they did a countdown and there was ignition... was that a time wrap? Am I going insane?
edit2: @spacex034 is not @spacex... today I learned...
Then again you'd think one of Amazon's 1.5M employees would have the job of finding fake USB sticks for sale on the site, but apparently nobody has that title either.
This implies that YT has humans that are not in sales. It feels like YT just has bots building more bots at this point.
I tried signing up for twitter but gave up at the "match these dice with these symbols (1 of 10)" stage.
It's not a great interface compared with youtube etc, not rewinding etc, but at least it works
Looking at the SpaceX feed, they seem to be using whatever tech they got from the Periscope acquisition (at least the servers were still pscp.tv).
So take with that whatever it means, that it's just not going to be as first-class citizen like in Youtube. But the CDN etc must be good enough as those things are easier to do nowadays.
Hiding downvotes, squirreling the "block channel" feature into a dot menu, breaking it completely on recommended pages, and then breaking search pages... it's almost like they don't want to fight spam.
Why remove spam and clickbait when it means less money? Youtube is the stereotype of post-hype company that is just milking its users to increase their bottom line, driving the entire product to a slow death.
That is not how it happens. The account is verified because it is a stolen account that had lots of subscribers & views. They hide/delete the existing videos & rebrand the channel. It famously happened to Linus Tech Tips last year after a staff member fell for a spear phishing attempt.
the x stream has been great and had a far greater reach (2.5 million) than any of the youtube streams by a factor of 10x or so.
You're just saying that the Twitter official account is official. No reason you can't have an Official Account anywhere else, SpaceX just doesn't.
when i searched spacex on multiple youtube apps this morning, i couldn't even find the official spacex account after going through pages of menus.
To be clear: if you search for "SpaceX" on Google, you get the corporate website as the first link and the Twitter account as the second. But YouTube has nothing to show you, by SpaceX's choice.
if you search by channels on x, for fair comparison, there are no spoofed spacex accounts to be seen anywhere. https://twitter.com/search?q=spacex&src=recent_search_click&...
