I would compare and contrast the experience you are describing with a podcast player like pocketcast.
Synchronized play state and playlists on all the devices. Offline handling of the media files with streaming as an option. Feed subscription but also podcast repository and ranking/trending screens.
All media files are by definition in independant feeds, and sharing a file URL is supported.
It brings a hugely better experience than youtube pr any online video service I've seen. I actually switched to my podcast player all the youtube channels that also have a separate feed.
- rictic 11y agoHuh, I suspect we have very different consumption habits. I could predict ahead of time perhaps 5% of the youtube videos that I end up watching.
- hrktb 11y agoI think youtube is on your side, as it's heavily biased toward random one offs video watching. I'm always baffled by the suggestions when watching videos from some common series. There would be mostly accurate suggestions, and consistently two or three videos completely unrelated taken from my viewing history. For instance there would be 'Howto repair your dishwasher' in the middle of all the videos of a math channel. I tend to massively subscribe to channels and watch in batches, so I have (and want to have) a very good idea of what's coming next in my queue.
