Why only 16/32 videos per channel? Why not all? What’s the limiting factor here?


i only wanted to limit currently on whatever is going to create server burden and fill api quotas. i already started hitting free quotas on youtube api and a couple of more, and already feel like i may need to upgrade server.

and also wanted to create a fun enough free account, with 256 videos in rotation. but a strong paid account with 1024 videos in rotation, which is almost around the movie/series rotation of a netflix account.

also youtube is there for everything the creators share, i just wanted to create a "filterable customizable sortable latest videos watching" companion to them not replace them, i guess that is also not allowed by the api usage.

That sounds a lot more convincing than "32 videos from each creator"
