On the one hand, it seems obvious that they would, to ensure that the digitisation worked. On the other hand, they’d probably get through 1 customer per month if they did that. So either they just dump the material to a file and send it, or they check every 10 minutes or so and watch a few seconds, but no more than that. Does that sound about right? 🤔
I have some stuff from 30+ years ago I’d like digitised, but I don’t know how I feel about a stranger watching 9-year old me be disproportionately excited to the point of tears about my Christmas gift of a life-size cardboard cutout of Wesley Snipes that my dad almost certainly stole from the video rental store. Some memories should stay memories.
Well now I want to see a video of a nine year-old excitedly freaking out over a life-sized Wesley Snipes cardboard cutout!
But in answer to your question, they probably do watch to a limited degree. But I’m sure they see so much random stuff while digitizing that they don’t pay that much attention. And worst case scenario, they’d probably think your video is a bit weird, but in an adorable way.
