This could be big if it works well, could finally search for stolen videos. The UI looks great too!

Thanks @kuzeljan! Yes, that and the fact we were number one in HN's front page... It's good though :) Hang on tight, we hope to give you a report soon. Thanks for your patience!
@joaodmj Sadly, I must state that it failed horribly ... I put in this video https://youtu.be/8iJI8iZIubc ... there exists a video with same title, also on a channel which the same name as the title and because of this, if you search for "SatisMeter" on youtube .. it is actually the 1st result in search - https://youtu.be/ple2vwtMDGo ... but you didn't find it. If 1) same title name 2) title same as channel name 3) first result in youtube search .. aren't a good clues to check it for duplicate, then I don't know what is :(. Text Google / Youtube search works better.
Hey @kuzeljan, we use your keywords to search the web and then compare the results with the video uploaded. We'll tweak the keywords on our end and you'll get a new report (probably within hours because of the high number of requests we are getting).
Thanks for testing the tool. Hopefully we can impress you with the new report :)
Hey Hunters, it's a pleasure to be hunted 😁
We are allowing you to search any video on the internet (reverse video search) with a simple upload. This could be particularly interested for content producers (e.g. YouTubers) or any marketeer.
Pelase AMA.
Thanks!

@stevenjacobs_ it does! Right now on our Beta / free trial release we are analyzing YouTube and Facebook but we can also do it for a bunch of other platforms. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
As a youtuber with about 28k subs and over 3million views across my videos... i'm loving this idea. I'm doing pretty regular searches to see if anyone has copied my videos and submitting copyright claims. This will be a huge help in that never ending battle. Now if I could just prevent folks from posting them on Facebook with some stupid banner and comment. I submitted one of my most recent popular videos that I've already found a few copies of online doing a manual search. Will be good to see how your service works. Thanks for sharing this!
Hey @unclejessy4real, let's wait for the report :) Thanks for sharing and reaching us.
As a YouTube Product Expert this interests me greatly. I'll be sharing this with my fellow Google product enthusiasts in the Top Contributor program.
How does this work? Does it scout the net for the same title and compares the metadata and calls it a copy? Or does it go the extra step and actually use computer vision to determine it's the real deal? The latter would be very expensive I would think.
@erickbarron86 we are computer vision engineers and our algorithm only uses visual search to compare the results obtained from the keywords. Hope you can test it and be impressed with the results. Please let me know how it went.
@markusgerke thanks for your feedback. What do you think is confusing specifically? The UI? Or the UX? In what way the site is confusing? You don't understand the concept or what we are offering? Or it's just a styling opinion?
@mbrennanni hopefully will be huge :) Let me know if you were able to test it and give us feedback.
