A reader asked what 'scraped' means on our YouTube posts. It is the time when I collected video links. As an example, "235 views - 15 minutes ago - (Scraped Oct 31, 2024, 11:10:15 AM Pacific Time)" means I collected and posted the link at Oct 31, 2024, 11:10:15 AM Pacific Time, and at that time, it was 15 minutes old on YouTube.

When I copy the title, author, and stats from YouTube, they are essentially frozen in time. "15 minutes ago" will no longer increment. By knowing the scrape time, you can calculate about how old the video is now.

For simplicities' sake, you can be assured that I don't dredge up old YouTube posts from days ago. You will see Judging Freedom excerpts from recent shows posted as new. That is due to the judge reposting them. I find the excerpts useful.

I keep track of the URLS I post.

I only share what is new to my YouTube feed.

Anything I share hit YouTube within the last 24 hours.
