We should be more careful. 1 in 30,000 is a pretty good chance to not get found out, but when it comes to videos with smaller viewcounts, we should not be allowing them to be shared.
Also we should do something about the tracking links that people keep sharing here willynilly. Even if it's just a rule change. Feels like 6 months since I last posted about this without change.
Yeah... I'm with you, people are not taking the risks of a lot of things seriously. Rule changes aren't a bad idea, especially since they don't require dev effort that we don't have, but as much as possible we should probably automate enforcement, it will make it more effective/consistent.
Its all wasted effort, until it's not, and then it'll be too late.
Automod tools do exist now but we would have to put in some dev effort to get the features we want, and it may not scale super well to our large instance size. And its hard to keep up with all the major sites let alone small obscure sites or straight up honeypots. You can't really beat careless user behavior, but you can certainly improve things.
its gonna be really tough to balance usability and sufficient safety/paranoia here IMO. I think the current approach is mostly "people can choose their own risk level" and giving people tools like invidious links, etc.
