Yep, I didn’t know if those were reliable tho or if YouTube had started inserting algorithmic content into playlists yet. And critically, when a playlist ends it should end, not roll right in to other “related” content. And of you’re it’s YouTube-only, so there would be no way to l a playlist that contained other sources.

I’m only hearing upsides here.

Yes, I was thinking something YouTube (or long-form media) specific with the purpose of replacing the YouTube algorithm. So for example maybe someone who loves astronomy puts together a playlist about supernovas that include a video from pbs spacetime, Sabine Hossenfelder and kursgesagt. Then he puts together other playlists. Over time you’d recognize this curator’s name and trust them not to point you to garbage.

Maybe it’s time for the return of curated lists. Back in the day (even before the web) there used to be people who organized lists of videos to rent, books to read, etc. why not bring it back in a lemmy channel or some other trusted service. Just curated lists of specific videos.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Airlines. When JetBlue was new they were genuinely enjoyable to fly. After a few years they realized they only needed to be the least worst option, and now they suck like everyone else.

Wait that’s what you would do if you had nothing to lose? Why wouldn’t you just do that now?
