PeerTube (npub17gp…7p4g) question:
I have disabled downloads on the videos I have uploaded (and I control the server itself), but I am seeing non-zero download counts on the videos. How are those numbers being generated?
In all honestly I don't particularly care if folks download the video, but I'm trying to figure out _how_ they're doing it (the people I know are likely not using e.g. yt-dlp).
