From 500 episodes to one search box

Every episode went through the same six steps. Each step is checked by code before the next one starts, so nothing reaches the search box that can't be traced back to a moment in an episode.

  3. 3

    Hindi

    732,026

    Hindi lines written in Roman Hinglish and translated to English, so any phrasing finds them.

Patterns behind the views

Each episode's views are compared with typical episodes of the same age. These are patterns, not proof: guest fame, news and the algorithm move views too.
