The site is simple: it shows you how much state funding Exxpress got, along with its live viewer count, and historic viewer count (past hour, past day, past week, and last month). The data is fetched via the YouTube data API every 15 seconds and stored to be able to show the historic timeseries.
Well, turns out, nobody is watching this drivel. What's funnier: since they embed the YT livestream on their site with autoplay, the view count also tells us how many people are visiting their website.
