What Built To Resist records about a video

The library distinguishes public metadata verified from a watch page, publishing metadata supplied directly by the site owner, and editorial routing. Owner-supplied descriptions, chapters, and tags are labeled as such rather than presented as independently scraped metadata.

Upload dates, runtimes, channel metadata, or transcripts are not filled in when they were not exposed to the publishing workflow. That boundary is intentional.
