How to pause? and re upload pending part with new video?
Here's a guess: upload from a browser running on Linux, and create a FUSE filesystem that blocks read() calls until you've generated the video. I tried it with a named pipe ("mknod /tmp/foo.mp4 p") and it gave me an error, but before the error, the web page blocked during upload, but it showed me the URL that will be used (before I gave it a single byte of data).

To provide a link to next week's video/ the next of a series inside the previous?
URL shorteners do this trick, can just update the redirect. Most people just put videos in a playlist so it comes recommended next though.

#93C.f. this tweet, which has a link to itself: https://twitter.com/mauritscorneIis/status/99142460340155187... (And as we all know Twitter has no edit button, no post-upload shenanigans are possible here, just some clever guessing and reverse-engineering Twitter's ID generation algorithm)
This tweet (or one like it) caused a massive Twitter outage.

I have not been doing any edits of video for a long time... What are most people editing vids with these days?
As someone who uses Linux, I've found Blender + ffmpeg to be a powerful combo. Almost all of the videos on my channel use those two. The video sequence editor in Blender is awesome for arranging tracks, audio, transitions, overlays, text, etc. And with ffmpeg you can move it to any format you need. To clean up audio I use Audacity.

#96A somewhat related story about why text posts on reddit are called "self posts" (copy-pasted from a thread from 5 years ago where someone asked why, linked near the top of the explanation): --- It's actually a bit of a long story, but it's kind of an interesting part of reddit's history. Some of my details are probably off, but this is how I understand it. A long, long time ago, reddit only supported submitting links…
I later became "more" famous for inadvertently DDoSing reddit, and forgot all about it until someone replied to one of my comments saying "aren't you the asshole who brought down reddit as an April fool's joke?". "Huh? No! Oh, wait".

Blender? Really? Huh, I've been looking for a program to do some simple video editing. Would you happen to know of a good tutorial for the basics of non-linear video editing with Blender?
I've just pulled down a 2.80 release candidate with the UI overhaul to see if it's any better. It's actually pretty nice. I just selected the video editor option in the startup screen, and things sort of worked like I expect in a NLE.

The free version of Hit Film is really excellent: https://fxhome.com/hitfilm-express Good to put some VFX.

As you said, it largely relies on reverse engineering and bruteforcing Twitter's ID generation.
