I don’t know why I never realized this before, but auto-publishing VODs is downright stupid. There will always be something you don’t want to publish and not publishing the VOD means that you have full control over what gets ultimately published (provided you disable clips). This means no one go back and watch the beginning of the VOD to catch up. If you make a mistake, just don’t publish it.
Obviously, this has draw backs. For example, if you are playing a game and want someone to clip a good play for you, you just can’t. You have to do that yourself. But the safety is more than worth it to me.
This is also not full protection because a really motivated troll/hacker could simply turn on their own video capture for your whole session or when they think you are about to screw up (at a check out counter, etc.).
