I had youtube TV for a while and the most annoying thing is that there were no channel numbers.
That and the 50 other terrible design choices they made. What a hot mess youtube tv is.
This is something I always wonder... Something that I really miss from TV on internet content (YouTube, movie streamings and so on) is turn it on and watching what's being transmitted without thinking about what I wanna see. Three reasons: 1. Picking something to watch takes time. Sometimes I only want to see something in the 15 minutes that I'm dining alone. My meal gets cold before I start the video 2. Choosing som…

Well done. My team built this at Disney six years ago when we were trying to solve content discovery problems. The problem with endless carousels of thumbnails is that it really doesn't draw you in. Sometimes you just need to drop people into content like it's channel surfing. Netflix tried something similar a few years ago, but in my opinion it missed a critical ingredient, which was dropping people into the middle…
Part of the issue with endless carousels of thumbnails now is that the thumbnails are almost invariable clickbait now. What will I actually get? I have no idea. Even YouTube channels I genuinely enjoy use thumbnails which are entirely different from the actual content. I suppose sensationalism has taken over.

Why can't you pick randomly from your home page and let auto play do its thing?

How are you making this list? The thing I surprisingly miss about tv is that what to watch was someone else's problem. YouTube overwhelms me with choices, TV was simple, I liked maybe 4-5 channels and (I later realized) I was implicitly trusting them to have something good on. If I was allowed to dream, I imagine a world where that specialization is brought back. People curating a feed, which was on average good.
The author was replying to everyone, even me, but didn’t respond to my question about how the list is made. This makes me assume that it’s hand-made. If so, it’ll probably get 1 or 2 updates (if even that many) and then remain static as the creator loses interest. Wouldn’t be the first time. EDIT: list has changed. Trying to track it, we'll see what happens. I really hope the author has some way to search Youtube for…

I really like how there are only 12 channels, and you don't get to choose what's on. The only way to make it even more like tv from a few decades ago would be if half of the channels were static.
