YT is absolute garbage... we should call out the ACTUAL people responsible for just how terrible their UX is. If anyone is hiring and someone says they did UX at YT - do not hire them.

Thank you for posting this. Moreover Google is a spyware company that holds users hostages for money. I wish Twitch can replace Youtube someday.

Yeah, I wasnt calling out YT content - specifically calling out the platform team internally...

Amazing headline. It reminds me about a joke from a Futurama episode, from the late 90s, while Fry is channel surfing intergalactic cable, "Sheesh... 40,000 channels and only 150 of them have anything good on."

If 10,000 people say this but there is little overlap in the channel preferences, suddenly 40,000 channels seems a reasonable number. Point being that there are a wide ranging number of interests, just because it isn't in your niche, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there at all.

This isn't eligible for Show HN - please see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html - so I've taken that out of the title now.

Because it's a "list"? I don't think that's correct, there's ballpark 200k different pages with unique content in that app, that's a lot more than just a list.

This is missing something critical: It shows tags, but does not allow to use them like tags. Instead it only allows to use them as categories. One should be able to narrow down results by clicking multiple tags.

I did think about it, but my concern was that because I only take a small subset of top keywords for each channel, it's very easy to create a combination of tags that'll show no results. I'll play around with it and see if it makes sense to implement.

Can you also add greek? I'm always on the look for good content for my children but can't find much in my language :(

Unfortunately all the other languages have too few results, I just checked and Greek only has 0.7% as many channels as English in the db, so it'd only be a few pages of content
