If such a feature existed, it would be used for abuse 99% of the time
Vimeo does have such a feature. The ability to do such could be based on karma on YouTube.

Geez, HN has become worse than reddit.

You seem to have missed that this is a science-communication video aimed to help lay-people understand APIs, standards, online abuse, privacy issues, and how automation is playing into the issues we have in society stemming from social media.
I don't think that changes the fact that the gimmick, that gives the name to the video and the submission in HN, is pretty unimpressive.
This would be noteworthy if the counter was included in the video (like the similar video that shows its own URL [0]). But as it is, it's just the title that changes to match the number of views, so... not much to see here. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20452013
> This would be noteworthy if the counter was included in the video Pretty sure that would be impossible, unless I am missing something.
But 10 hours of video with 1s timestamp parameter resolution would only get you up to 36000

Yeah unfortunately Youtube doesn't let you edit videos, which sucks for creators who want to fix minor mistakes after a video has gone viral. You can, however, add and edit "cards" on top of the video. On another note, it would be noteworthy if the title on Hacker News also included the counter.
Uh, why the downvote? Can HN institute a policy that a reply is required if you downvote?
If this is how you respond to pointless vote counts, I would avoid revisiting comments after you leave them for the sake of your mental health.

Same here. However I think that the way he is communicating information in this video is meant to capture your attention not just now, but when this video is visited months or years from now. It will be very cool for viewers to stumble across this video when it doesn't work, effectively proving his point.
My guess is it's more likely some YouTube employees hacked around this as a show of "support" for YouTubers?
I was telling a friend recently about how there was this "golden age" when you could access all sorts of free APIs, and how I still long for this time. I remember the public Netflix API, Twitter APIs and Flickr API with particular fondness. My personal site was a big mashup of all of my data. I also abused the hell out of Yahoo Pipes - I would run RSS feeds through like 15 different languages with Babelfish before ba…
1. they enable people to do things that other people think shouldn't be done
2. people get upset at companies when (1) happens
3. people get upset at companies for removing or restricting apis when, or in fear of, both (1) and (2).

I can go find NES games and Gameboy games in my parents basement. If the NES worked I could play it or find a knock off on Amazon. Pretty sure I have a Doom floppy. Kids these days will be lucky to remember their favorite mobile games. Let alone be able to play them. Will they ever have an iOS or Android equivalent of ROMs?
> Kids these days will be lucky to remember their favorite mobile games. Let alone be able to play them. I'm already feeling the pain of this. There was a game for iOS called GeoDefense (and a sister game, GeoDefense Swarm). To this day these were my favorite games on the phone. But iOS 10 ended support for one of them, then a later OS update bricked the other one. The developer hasn't updated these games to work in…

> Please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

I really liked this video, it highlights that a lot of software we write is ephemeral and will one day either be retired or stop working. The frequently updating title thing is cute, it'll be interesting to see what dies first - YouTube pulling the "title update API" or Tom's script running wherever he's put it
You're giving me a lot of credit by implying the software I write works to begin with! Can we hurry up and get to the day with software like Facebook and Twitter stop working?
