Logs you should never store in plain text
Full watch histories tied to email addresses are toxic data breaches waiting to happen. Aggregate counts and hashed identifiers where analytics require persistence.
Publish a retention window (“delete server logs after 30 days”) if your host allows it.
Thumbnail fidelity after re-encoding
Re-encoding can soften fine text in thumbnails. If your pipeline preserves poster frames separately, mention that in release notes for creator audiences.
PNG snapshots are heavier than JPEG; pick defaults for mobile-first visitors.
Why some schools block entire downloader domains
Category filters do not distinguish ethical education posts from abusive tools. Offer a printable PDF or LMS-friendly embed of your policy page for administrators to review.
A .edu outreach email template can speed unblocking when you operate transparently.
