an option for no thumbnails, or just the first screen instead ot thumbnails + lower case titles also helps lower the lizard brain pull even further.

#12hi, my feedback is that I would like to be able to create an account, because I have my browser (Firefox) set to always clear all cookies and history on shutdown, so when I re-open this later I assume all my added channels would be lost, and would need to start from scratch. If it wasn't for that, I think it's great and would use it.

Hoping NoSuggest would be useful to you in any ways.

#16I made a podcast feed from YT with podsync so that I can take videos on the go. I use the playlist feature to pull them down. this feels like a great way for me to pull out only select videos. a direct way to put vids on a feed would be great, but understand if that doesnt make any sense. thanks for putting it together. an option for no thumbnails, or just the first screen instead ot thumbnails + lower case titles al…

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
Glad to know you liked it. Thank you! Yes, please keep using it and provide feedback after using for few days.
Some things I noticed right off the bat: - I'd recommend adding a way to add multiple channels at once. The current workflow works great for adding a single channel, but it was tedious to add more than one channel. I imagine most people using this service will add many channels at the beginning. - I'd like to be able to keep the same channel selections on multiple devices. Accounts and/or sync would probably be a lot…

#18This is desperately needed. I currently use https://freetubeapp.io/ but this seems to have more flexible deployment options.

#19Anything that can:
- break the algorithm
- help reduce time on there
- discover organically
Would have a huge product market fit. We are all zonked from the algorithm saturation.
One thing I recently started doing is use the before: search filter
ex) playthroughs before: 2010
I think its really neat that we've had Youtube for such a long time its become sort of a Archive.org on its own
I especially take great joy in watching people with low subscriber count or Youtube videos from before 2015
I feel like that was the inflection point where you just had a lot of freedom to speak your mind without the permanently online crowd getting offended by everything.

And date filter: that is a fun way to use YouTube. The search tab in NoSuggest lets you search for specific videos without recommendations creeping in around them, so you can do that kind of intentional digging. Date filtering isn't there though. And the feed only shows the latest 5 videos per channel so it won't surface older content.
