Country filtering doesn't work #159

Open belanto opened 4 years ago

belanto commented 4 years ago

will it be more convenient to filter countries of preference as well? Or at least make "select all" option to unmark then the preferred countries?

Filtering works, but web crawler assigns wrong country information. You can check and update each content item's metadata in its edit overlay.

Rationale for the language whitelist and country blacklist is that most users speak only a few languages which should be enough to filter content, and generally don't care about specific countries of origin, unless they want to exclude content from a few specific countries, usually because of political reasons. The goal of the UI is to have as few options selected as possible for clarity, and having to browse and pick each country from the long list would be really bad UX.

Can we do smth with crawler? E.g. if domen is .ru it is Russian why it is defined as US?
