This is pretty awesome. One small feedback, I noticed how there are multiple tags indicating same kind of content. for ex - "Mathematics" and "math". Combining these would be useful.

#22Thanks so much! Appreciate you doing this.

#23This is alright, I like the category breakdown, it makes browsing great, but its still subject to what _youtube_ considers good content. Which just results in the top content being short-form videos which provide quick-facts, not something I can actually learn with. Not necessarily a bad thing for different categories or if that is what you're seeking in the category but a consequential factor for someone seeking something outside the advertiser-friendly, profit maximizing algorithms.
I just love things the variety of things that fall outside the google-ads algos its so easy to silo our "content" from platforms like this. I browse marginalia [0] just to spice it up and see what else there is out there.

#24Many of the channels are stale, latest video from one or more years ago.

#25Idea is great but there is a lot of overlap between the tags, e.g. there are six pages of tags for Chinese but half of them are all variants on the same tech topics (e.g. there is a separate tag for 苹果、手机、电脑、and "apple watch").

#26This is great, two suggestions:
- search box on every sub page
- allow for reverse search of channels I know (so I can check out similar channels)

#27This is exactly how I wish YouTube allowed me to browse for videos! Great resource. Does anyone on HN have additional resources that allow for content discovery?

Youtube also has tons of long-form 1+ hours content. There's a recent machine learning video that's 25+ hours long and it's not hidden away in obscurity. It's prominently listed on the 1st page of search results for "deep learning tutorial" : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deep+learning+t...
As another example, I got a friend exposed to sewing channels on Youtube. Some content creators create hour-long "sew alongs" which she watches every week now to learn new techniques. It fills in a gap left behind by Public Television since they don't air sewing shows anymore.
Lots of long-form videos in car repairs, woodworking, etc.
EDIT ADD: the 25-hour deep learning video example is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ikDlimN6A
... which was also copied to freeCodeCamp.org channel (the 12th recently uploaded video) :

#29This is great and very useful to me!
What source are you getting the channels from?
And how do you choose which channel goes in?

#30TKT Talk under English > Music here, https://limnology.co/en/languages/en/keywords/music, is not in English.
Not sure how to report an incorrect listing on your site, would be good to better surface how to do that.
