For me, play counts are as irrelevant as downloads and indicate reach not engagement. It could work if it was a minimum of 3 minutes. This way that's beyond most ad breaks and Intros. It would also render 90% of shows redundant so unlikely anyone will agree with me.

This is going to be really neat. But I wonder if I'm going to be the product. You know what the adage is. If it's free, YOU'RE The Product.

Really appreciate you bringing attention to user-agent spoofing and Tom Rossi's proposal.
