What's that? I just went to app.net and all I found was a mostly empty map.

#5I think these initiatives are great. But they lack a tiny bit of thought to pass the hurdle of adoption.

And yet there are still swaths of HN commenters claiming that people would surely support paid, ad-free alternatives to YT, if only they existed.
Well, this is try two. Think people will still try to claim it’s a viable model over ads after this one?

#7It's cool to see that they have some quite popular channels on there already. Crash Course is on there, as well as some of my personal favourites; PhilosophyTube and Coding Train.

#8Here's the impression I'm getting looking at that page: It's like YouTube Originals. Curated, safe, sanitized. As an adult, this is like the last thing I'd want in a YouTube-like site, for my viewing. I don't feel like I'm likely to find something unusual or unexpected.
On the other hand, if I was a parent looking to distract my very young kids, curated, safe, sanitized, and ad-free is exactly what I'd want.
EDIT: Issac Arthur is on there. Maybe I'll give it a try. Maybe this site can use YouTube as its "Bush Leagues." That's only going to work if it can portray itself as "The Majors."
