About GreatJIN
Youtube The Words reads trending YouTube comments as Social Philosophy: influence, rhetoric, wit, confession, and public judgment.
GreatJIN designs small tools that turn noisy public data into rankings people can argue with.
This project starts with YouTube Trending commentors, then grows toward Hall of Fame snapshots, Local Vote, and philosopher-style archetypes.
LinkedIn profileYouTube API calls, translation, and ranking snapshots all create running costs. Support helps keep the public ranking experiments online.
Support on PayPalWe collect public YouTube comments from popular and latest feeds, remove duplicates, and total likes by commentor. Replies, appearances across clips, and saved snapshots are shown separately as context and history signals.
Automated archetypes are experimental lenses for reading public response, not factual judgments about a person. The operator reviews and corrects inaccurate sources, counting errors, and inappropriate content.
Advertising and donations do not affect rankings, philosopher labels, or Local Vote results. Youtube The Words is not an official YouTube service and adds its own analysis to public API data.
Commentors and clips now retain a limited set of representative comment IDs. When an S3 snapshot expires, detail pages are rebuilt from normalized DynamoDB comment, video, and Commentor metadata without adding YouTube API calls or full-table scans to public requests.
Legacy comment and Commentor URLs without exact scope metadata now recover the correct stored snapshot and save that reference for later requests. The detail sitemap publishes only stable Korean and English comment, Commentor, and clip URLs with sufficient reactions and related context, while canonical and hreflang metadata follow the same policy.
Admin AI prompts now include original video and comment links, response rankings, and replies per 1,000 likes, with stricter instructions to connect verified scenes, dialogue, and comment wording. The workflow forbids invented clip context when links cannot be checked, and both admin and public evidence cards expose direct original-video and original-comment links.
Comment, commentor, and clip links now retain the exact snapshot timestamp so detail pages survive later data refreshes. Invalid legacy clip scopes recover stored video metadata without being indexed, and the admin editorial workflow adds a copyable AI prompt for turning evidence-based drafts into natural editor-reviewed prose.
Stored snapshots now generate three editorial topics and deterministic drafts. Publication requires an administrator to review source evidence, interpretation, and an original conclusion. Published analysis appears on Today with linked comments, while manual refresh can process all allowed regions and categories sequentially with per-scope results.
Comment and clip detail links from Commentor profiles now retain the snapshot date that produced the visible data, preventing 404s after newer data replaces it. Stored champions continue defending against new comments even after leaving the current candidate list, including rounds with one new challenger and consecutive title defenses.
Stored champions now automatically resume a title defense against candidates introduced by a new snapshot. Defense rounds identify the defending champion and challenger, while new winners retain their snapshot scope for durable comment, commentor, and clip links. Legacy champions without scope metadata fall back to the original YouTube comment and video.
Each daily philosopher now includes a quote, a recommended comment from a stored snapshot, and a related clip link, with a clearer discussion draft and category flow. The community editor accepts pasted and dropped images, while Admin Refresh History now has the permissions and diagnostics needed to inspect recent application log streams precisely.
Moved the desktop community composer from a narrow sidebar to a full-width editor above the board while retaining a single-column mobile layout. Signed-in users can reveal one free daily philosopher combination for a fixed 3 P, replay it without another server call, and turn its question into a discussion title and rich-text draft.
Added rich-text formatting, lists, quotes, links, and draft recovery to community posts, along with recent/active sorting and participation prompts. Video and discussion-forum structured data now follows Google requirements, and Comment Battle progress is restored from server and browser storage after snapshot updates or page refreshes.
Admins can review the latest saved snapshot and override only the representative, empathy, wit, or debate picks that need judgment. Automatic selections and suggested notes remain the default, with draft, published, and corrected states, previous-publication preservation, and revision conflict protection.
Daily highlights, Comment Battle, following, collections, and Hall candidates now sit in an accessible collapsed participation section after the Hall preview and full ranking. Existing Battle, Scrap, Follow, and MyPik data and behavior remain unchanged.
Restored 30-minute stale-snapshot refresh attempts while keeping stored editorial content visible first. Server-rendered home editorial content is separated from the explorer, and Today, Archive, Methodology, and Community navigation now stays distinct from mobile reading tools. Structured CloudWatch logs and Admin Refresh History expose refresh outcomes and failure reasons.
Historical comment, clip, and Commentor details now read the exact stored daily snapshot, fixing 404s caused by newer data. Clip Public Squares gained video previews, rendered-scope links no longer inherit an unrelated region, and Comment Battle candidates and winners now link to comment, Commentor, and clip details.
Added a stored-snapshot Daily Public Square archive with dated detail pages, and expanded the selection policy and methodology. Archive metadata, canonical URLs, and sitemap behavior were aligned with the new archive.
Expanded the home page around the representative comment, selection rationale, empathy, wit and debate picks, clip summaries, and Commentor of the day. Admins can manually refresh stored data, and winners become eligible again when a new Comment Battle snapshot arrives.
Server-rendered the initial Commentor detail content, added noindex handling for empty, loading, and error states, and centralized ad eligibility. Canonical, hreflang, metadata, public-content moderation, and stable date rendering were also corrected.
Saved commentor snapshots now refresh from user traffic only after 30 minutes, matching the intended YouTube sync cadence. Admin Observability also shows DynamoDB Cost Explorer usage types separately, including read request units, write request units, PITR storage, and table storage.
Google login returns now trigger immediate authentication re-checks for the header and Site Comments panel, and Forum comment cards now include a lazy Site Comments toggle.
Added a Methodology page explaining commentor ranking calculation, editorial review, advertising independence, and correction requests. Fixed Site Comments so the panel re-checks authentication after Google login returns, and changed the OAuth callback to persist the session cookie before returning to the app.
Updated the public Hall of Fame API to use the latest saved snapshot instead of broad DynamoDB scans on user requests, reducing throttling and 502 errors.
Added snapshot refresh flow, split public APIs, reduced initial HTML payload, applied CSP, added report-count auto-hide and ad eligibility rules, and made the first screen clearer about commentor rankings.
Public locale pages now use translated metadata, policy content, loading states, Forum direct-search copy, Flash labels, and Hall of Fame refresh text. Locale switching keeps the current snapshot stable and handles non-JSON API failures gracefully.
MyPik and My Scrapbook now save to the signed-in user's server profile, direct YouTube clip searches can be saved as scraps with opinions, and AWS cost reporting includes a Cost Explorer month-to-date cumulative total.
The home page now shows the latest saved snapshot before live refresh, and ad slots stay gated to content-rich ranking, commentary, and analysis screens.
Commentor clicks now open an internal philosopher-style profile first, showing cached comments, likes, clips, archetype signals, Local Vote, site comments, and a YouTube profile button.
Added tab-specific Public Square summaries with pie charts, Commentor Archetype lenses, clearer Hall of Fame history scoring, report/mute/RED CARD moderation flows, policy pages, and content-gated ad placement.
Google profiles now support site nicknames, philosopher portrait avatars, social comment likes, edit/delete controls, profile activity summaries, and timestamp-aware video previews.
Video previews now close cleanly on mouse leave and only one floating mini-player stays open at a time.
GitLab CI now separates develop/X600 and main/AWS production variables, and Lambda image deploys use a live alias with canary traffic shifting across S3, DynamoDB, ECR, Lambda, and CloudFront.
The service ranks commentors by combining popular and latest comments from trending clips.
Saved snapshots and local philosopher votes prepare a larger ranking layer beyond one live request.
The home page now presents the service purpose, ranking method, and Social Philosophy lens while live YouTube ranking data is refreshed through the API.
