Watching even a fraction of a second of a video now counts as a view.

I think what metrics we need to see are “engaged views” which is watching at least 30 seconds and “average watch time” for the interview.

There was plenty of it going on around here. Even after Napster was taken down, there was Kazaa, Limewire, and your choice of Gnutella client. It was mostly us downloading stuff to listen to on the bus because high speed internet was rare unless you were in a city.

It appears to be banned in the US under 15 USC 7704(a)(3) because it’s neither one click nor does it allow the user to open a menu to select the types of messages they want to receive: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/7704

What’s the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn’t think he’s a doctor.

The only time a doctor has recorded me, they asked for consent first and then the recording went into a HIPAA compliant EMR system. This doctor has done neither.

And it changed the logo on the shirt to just his name.
