Who chooses the videos? It seems ... opinionated.
For example, under 'Physics', we have "The big lie about carbon capture', 'Why (toilet) flushing isn't for everyone', 'The scientific basis for miracles', etc.
- kirill5pol 3y agoYeah it’s not ideal yet the suggestions under each category I just YouTube’s own category labels so often it didn’t give the best results, but it’s something I’m working on!
- dotancohen 3y agoPerhaps log the videos that users upload and suggest the most common ones?
- kirill5pol 3y agoYep planning on doing that but didn't have enough videos uploaded to "fill up" the categories before posting the Show HN, so I just scripted some stuff based on the YouTube suggestions from some YouTube channels I watch. One of my future plans is to actually train a BERT model to limit the video suggestions to something that actually is useful instead of clickbait... I have 2 different accounts on YouTube just so watching random videos on 1 won't pollute the suggestions from the other
- dotancohen 3y agoPerhaps allow the user to integrate with his YouTube history? Does YouTube have an API for that?
