How this week was made

What we went through. The paper was written from 65 videos from 24 channels, 23 hours 51 minutes in all. Every one was transcribed.

What made the paper. 39 of them are cited in the paper. It has 57 quotes. Every quote was checked against the transcript of the video it comes from, and its footnote links to that video.

What the editor (still just me) did. Our system wrote a first draft of 4,070 words. I read every line and checked every quote against its video. I reworked 46 of the draft's 134 lines and added 3 lines of my own. The paper as it stands is 3,342 words.

Every video
