That is really interesting. I am thinking of toying with same combination for my small project. Can you share a bit on your use case? Would love to know more.

I had a same kind of situation. I had only one video 7 year old and no activity. Appeal did not do anything.

Not even getting response. After the appeal they deleted also my YouTube account which was even more scaring.

It is crazy how much playlist, channels and history was in the account. I am really puzzled that my mobile version still works with my user data.

I used to work in scientific HPC and seeing the amount what researchers used computing resources for folding was staggering. Just thinking how much this will speedup the research in coming years is to be seen. I am really hope full.

I have been thinking the same idea for a while now. Not in a place that would be able to commit, but if you really try this I would like to follow up.
As many have said here, finding books is easy, finding good books in a particular niche is hard. For me using this tool gave few new books to my reading list.

As a side note, I an quite social reader and like to read books that I can have conversations about. Amazon ratings etc. are quite good in that already, but the visualization helps big time.
