Review comment (refactor):
if you want to move all metadata extraction into the common method, we could do it like this.
We need `get_all=False` since we are branching for `uploader` and `uploader_id`, or else we'll return a list of values for those fields
```suggestion
                'id': ('id', {str_or_none}),
                'uploader': (('user', ('blog', 'owner')), 'nick', {str_or_none}),
                'uploader_id': (('user', ('blog', 'owner')), 'id', {str_or_none}),
                'duration': ('duration', {int_or_none}),
                'concurrent_view_count': ('count', 'viewers', {int_or_none}),
        }, get_all=False)
```
(feel free to sort the fields in a sensible order, I've just done it this way for the suggestion's sake)
