VidScore results may look different each time you visit a page. This is normal and reflects changes in the underlying content, not a problem with the system.
What causes variation
New videos are published, old ones are removed, metadata is updated, and VidScore's own analysis methods improve over time. All of these can produce different results for the same page.
How to handle it
Do not rely on previous results that are no longer visible. Always use current results alongside original sources. If variation seems unexpected, contact support with the page URL and what you noticed.
Detailed reference
What you can expect
- Results appearing slightly different on repeat visits
- Layout, emphasis, or detail level changing between sessions
- New associations appearing or previous ones disappearing
- Score values shifting as the content landscape changes
Limits
- Guarantees that results will remain stable or identical over time
- Explanations for why a specific change occurred. The system does not disclose its reasoning
- Commitments that any particular result will persist
How it works
VidScore analyzes content at the time of request. Because public YouTube content is constantly changing (new videos are uploaded, old ones are removed, descriptions and metadata are edited), the input to VidScore's analysis changes too. The system does not maintain a fixed snapshot; it works with whatever is available at the moment.
Additionally, improvements to VidScore's own analysis methods may produce different results for the same content. This is intentional: better analysis produces more accurate results, even if that means results differ from a previous version.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming a change in score means something bad happened. Score changes are normal
- Believing that a disappeared association was deliberately removed. It may reflect content changes upstream
- Expecting results to match a screenshot taken previously. Results are always current, not historical
