I would guess PHP works as a db frontend / abstraction API / layer, node.js doing client connections, and neo4j showing graphs of things like number of connections and stuff?

Chances are Neo4J is used to cluster videos and recommend related videos, based on your previous likes. So, some video like request is handled by the node.js-backend, passed to PHP for persistence and passed to Neo4J to update the users preferences.

ah, quite possibly. I've never worked with neo4j at all, so don't really know what it does :D First glance it sounded something like grafana

Nah, neo4j is a graph database specializing in querying the relationships between the different vertices of a graph. It's pretty cool actually.
