  1. Alternatively, change the low pony video to non-pony video ratio on the videosync by adding/suggesting more pony videos? :v

    1. @redenchilada Better than just deleting videos that some people might like

      1. @scoot I know I'd murder someone if # ever got removed!

    2. @redenchilada oh! Weighted playlist!

      1. @pony I'm not a fan of the idea, to be honest.

        1. @redenchilada The best alternative I can think of without risking the deletion of things that some might like is what you stated, to add more, but then you get less quality and more bloating. I think I'll just start proposing some for deletion.

          1. @pony I don't understand the issue, is it that /you specifically/ dislike some of the videos so they must be removed? Because I might like some of the ones you don't and I know I don't like some of the ones you do but I'm not rallying for their deletion

            1. @scoot Bah, I just cut stuff off the feed when I don't care about watching it. I believe the problem, however, comes from the consistency of the feed itself to ACTUALLY KEEP WORKING once you cut it off and back on again. It's a huge chore.

            2. @scoot That's part of the issue. I don't know which ones everypony likes and dislikes, and even if both of us like one it might turn others off to watching the stream and would be better deleted.

            3. @scoot I guess the main issue is that I want the videos not to bore the majority of watchers and to ideally entertain them and be relevant to the fandom.

              1. @pony First of all I think we don't need to exclusively entertain "the fandom", in fact I'm relatively sure you were brought in to put videos on for those sorts of people but it's not designed purely for fans of the show, it's supposed to be entertaining and to contain a large amount of different types of videos. If some people are bored by it they can just turn the stream off and turn it back on again later

                1. @scoot I agree. Not everything needs to be pony, though I don't personally relate to a lot of it. It's interesting to see what you guys(/gals?) all have in mind for the stream sometimes.

                2. @scoot I agree. I'm thinking that if a video bores half of the watchers though that might be a good max boredom level for any video. Problem is figuring out which those are.

                  1. @pony So if the other half REALLY like that video it has to go? Are you serious?

                    1. @scoot I said "max" by which I meant that it should stay if the veiwership is split.

                    2. @scoot @pony If you're going for voting-based deletion, just go for absolute majority. We have about 40 unique active users per day, so le's say 15 watch the stream, then 11 votes against it would be enough.

                      1. @nerthos I'd be good with that. I doubt that many would be so vocal though.

                        1. @pony Put a poll on the group if a video is brought up for deletion

                          1. @nerthos which group? That's another good idea. I forgot that this instance of statusnet should hopefully have the ability to create polls

                        2. @pony It'd likely work out, though, since if a video's really disliked more people will be vocal about it anyway, plus it'll keep the videos that only a few dislike from getting pulled.
