Sarcasm Alert - Hey, as an Indian I am tired of American English videos. The accent is so bad, I can't understand anything!!
Btw, it looks like a good problem to solve. It is not easy to ML millions of videos to identify spoken language, but I guess google already has means to do it as they provide closed caption.
Also, the YouTubers in the comments seems to be searching for IT topics, which is heavily dominated by Indians
- andybak 7y agoI was going to ask what they were searching for. I've not seen any videos from India (aside from when I actually was looking for them)
- mangatmodi 7y agoSearch for anything related to computer science, you will get tons of videos and true enough most of them are very bad quality in both content and language.
- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoI decided to test this empirically by selecting a computer science topic at random* https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bkz+reduction https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bkz+reduction 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Trwclh_Z4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Trwclh_Z4 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EapIVDlhvQU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EapIVDlhvQU 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cicTG3zeVQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cicTG3zeVQ ---- The scrollbar of my browser cuts here ---- 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i9BCsHxofE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i9BCsHxofE ... * random may or may not have been influenced by Dual EC
- mangatmodi 7y agoLols, you searched for Lattice reduction. We never studied that in our universities. Btw, My assumption was wrong. I searched many keywords, and there were no Indian videos at the top. Interesting!
- CiPHPerCoder 7y ago> Lols, you searched for Lattice reduction. We never studied that in our universities. Sounds like a missed opportunity to me.
- mangatmodi 7y agoAfter joining Industry I realized how much my university missed to teach me and took me a long time to grab whatever I can. Almost all Indian universities are teaching the same content from decades. Nothing about Functional Programming, Big data, even Theory of Computation (that was mine :D )
- bollu 7y agoDepends on the university. Mine teaches all three, for example.

- puranjay 7y agoI would honestly be happy if there was a way to filter out content from Indian users on sites like Quora. And I say this as an Indian.
- bhaavan 7y agoThe fact that you use quora, a network very popular in India, and expect indian content to not be there is like going to a Italian restaurant and asking why is the menu full of pastas.
