Unexpected but pleasantly surprising crossover!

So crazy that people would do this when the dataset is available

What dataset exactly??

So what exactly were people doing that they could have just done so with the dataset?

scraping the website with a crawler

Oh

<lemuria> "How'd you discover her?" <- Through other music streamers. I don't remember now exactly who.

leftmostcat[m]: Seems fair. I still remember the exact history of my discovery; I was watching the Jedi Friends Raid Train, and was watching OctoberEmberMusic when they raided into Nalani Proctor

Hell, I also remember the exact timestamp of my first message in her chat; 2023-06-17 07:57:36 UTC+8

anomie_ (@_discord_242800896772276224:chatbrainz.org) keep in mind that Discord replies are not bridged to IRC/Matrix users, so if you reply to older messages it can be confusing

And that's before I get to the even more fun part of timestamping individual performances in VODs; a streamer VOD will often contain many songs and many originals; I guess this is roughly analogous to a concert recording??

and then i'm also unsure about what to do about <https://musicbrainz.org/work/c7935fef-7328-4cef...;

Ai crawlers aren't there for mb. They are crawling any website just to get text.

They don't care about the MB data. Heck, I'd even say their owner don't know about MB. Which is sad as not crawling MB is a win-win. MB get less requests, and crawlers can crawl actual text on other websites

Does MB have any sort of criteria for inclusion or notability guideline?

lemuria: I asked this the other day and got the anser: Anything that was actually released in some way (so not a e.g. mixtape for a friend, but yes to a band that printed 100 CD-Rs and sold them at a concert) https://community.metabrainz.org/t/what-belongs...
