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.
I used to do this kind of job. We’d typically check a minute at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. Unless people paid extra when we’d watch it in fulI. People who do this have seen way more weird shit. Unless you’re dealing with child porn that is.
