I think this is completely wrong approach. We as a community should stop giving G/YT our traffic if their stuff does not please us instead of making an effort to give them more traffic.

Both this and Youtube's own Feather beta seem to lack support for playlists. I like playlists for listening to music at work, for example Brad Neely's "America, Now" videos ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPQrXUpvkuc&list=PLD8217FD2EE... ). Also useful for watching web series like Marble Hornets. I love a simpler experience, but I think content creators will want playlists.

http://www.tubalr.com/ is the best for Youtube music, it has automatic playlists for artists

As always, I love sites that strip down YouTube. YouTube houses tons of great content; however, they seem to be making their consumers pretty unhappy. Check out http://www.tubalr.com it's my app and focuses on YouTube's music content. Grats on hitting the front page and I hope you can retain users, its the hardest part about websites like this.

I would use tubalr more often, but whenever I need it, I can't remember what it is called. I've liked you on Facebook, so my usual way of finding it is by going there and finding you amongst my likes. In other words, you should try to come further up on google searches for "youtube music".

Same here. I usually Google for tubular or tublr and can't find it.

This should be more well known. I just enabled it and don't plan on ever looking back.

Until you want to watch a playlist or a channel without choosing each video each time. Feather Beta doesn't work with the "Play all" links or playlists in general.

This is the problem I ran into, I originally enabled it think it was great and the next day promptly disabled it because of this.

I love it. With all the horrible and bloated changes they have been making, I thought there would be an opportunity to create simpler version of or alternate of YouTube. I guess you are still using YouTube contents so they can block you if they wish. I still think there is an opportunity to create an alternate video sharing site that's good enough. Good job, though! I will be using your site instead of youtube as lon…

There's also Google's own version of trimmed down youtube: http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta After enabling that I've never looked back. No comments and loads way faster.

You're right, this is wonderful.

This is unreasonable. YT isn't going to disappear. Did myspace? No. The fact that YT provides an API is plenty to reface it. You should view this website as another from of protest. Which of there have been plenty of protests in recent. It's not wrong, just a different one.

YT could disappear, but you'd have to pour a _lot_ of money into it.

Isn't that exactly what Google tried before giving in and buying YouTube?

Where would you host the videos? The amount of traffic they see, and the amount of videos they store is incredible. For example:
