How this week was made

What we went through. The paper was written from 61 videos from 26 channels, 20 hours 17 minutes in all. Every one was transcribed.

What made the paper. 24 of them are cited in the paper. It has 54 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 2,704 words. I read all of it, checked every quote against its video, and thoroughly edited it. I cut 60 of its 109 lines, rewrote 18, moved 2 and added 15 of my own. I also placed 7 pictures on the cover and pages. The paper as it stands is 1,844 words. An edition generally takes me about half a day.

Every video
