This 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)

Thanks! Search box has been requested multiple times, so will implement, and reverse search is already possible here: https://limnology.co/en/channels

TKT 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.

I'll add a report button, it definitely needs it. All of that data is from the the youtube channels themselves and _a lot_ of them mislabel things, even such basic ones as their channel's language.

This 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 som…

Try digging deeper into the "Related Keywords" cloud at the top, the narrower is the keyword you pick, the more long-form & technical and the less pop-channell-y stuff you'll see.

>Which just results in the top content being short-form videos which provide quick-facts, not something I can actually learn with. 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=d…

I would be careful with statements like this. I believe that the Youtube search results are tuned by your personal viewing history, and of course just on a general basis the results are subject to change. I don't see the video you are talking about when I do that search, but then I don't know what you mean by 'on the 1st page' since it is an infinite scroll.

Looks cool! curious how you sourced and tagged the channels?

We have a few popular anatomy channels in different languages[0], but I couldn’t find any of our videos when searching for “anatomy” and also results were quite mixed. Some videos were quite unrelated or very loosely related at best.

I think this list shows that how overwhelming the amount of resources to learn but we have so limited time. I think Duolingo style learning paths are way to go because we need to minimize the time to learn something. These kind of dumps are of no use except for bookmarking and feeling good.

Can you get a job watching 1000 hours of YouTube?
