Hi,

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I did a search in Sift Talk and didn't find nothing.

I've been sifting through the top videos for the last year and I found an sizable amount of dead ones (which I can't tag as such unfortunately). Is a scheduled task checking for dead videos already in place? If not, how easy would it be to implement? I don't know if any video sites have an API that lets you check if a link is still valid or not, I'd guess that big names would. In case they do it would be only a matter of polling one single video every minute, sorting the videos by number of votes times number of days since last seen in decreasing order, or something along those lines.
