It just needs upvote and downvote buttons and it would be perfect.
It seems flipping away is effectively a downvote, stating to watch is effectively an upvote. I’m not sure why we feel like everything needs to be actively voted on these days.
Really cool with great execution. Out of curiosity, I'd love to know more: - how the backend look like? - Are the channels are based on a static pool of videos by category? - Is there a "schedule" for a channel or picked at random?
You should make the channels change the video they're playing on a schedule, and link to a tv guide listing that shows the schedule.

I think the YouTube recommendation algorithm you get from opening the app or viewing the front page is good for this. They have a lot of random content and when the algorithm gets to know you, it will suggest things of interest that can be consumed this way.
The best part of this is the channel doesn't pause when you flip away from it. It is always "running" and if you flip away you will miss it. That builds in a FOMO trade-off which causes user to automatically/subconciously decide on channel they most want to watch, because they can't watch everything.
