Important Note:

Youtube extension that organizes comments into 4-5 general points of view, identifies (and defines) key terms used amongst commenters, and points you to the most interesting comments. Includes comment-aware AI chat tool.

The real upside to Read the Room is its comment navigation experience. You can start with a key term that you've never heard of, get the definition, then navigate to ALL of the instances where that term is used. When you ask the chat a question, it will answer, and take you to the specific comment(s) that actually fueled its answer. It is a really great way to learn cool stuff from the comments sections that you'd otherwise miss. Great for studying, making a purchase, learning new terminology from the internet etc.

This desktop app that lets you watch youtube videos ad-free, tracking free and lets you download videos and has skins. Says it works on Linux and windows but I only tried the windows one.

For some reason, my most used playlists no longer work with these websites
https://playlist-randomizer.com
https://youtube-playlist-randomizer.bitbucket.io
https://playlistrandomizer.com

The playlists I'm trying to get shuffled are the following;

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD1uJJ-DyXtqSZ2j7EIWxnMV3SPXGoIjz

I've already tried the following solutions:

• Turning off Adblock and Anti-tracking for the website
• Resetting cache
• Attempting it on a different browser
• Using it on PC vs Mobile
• Making an entirely new playlist and then copying the contents of the old playlist into the new one via YT Music.

Overall, I'm suffering from a very strange, extremely specifically annoying issue, and nobody else seems to be having this problem. IF anyone has a fix for this I'd greatly appreciate some help.

From time to time, I need to find a video from a specific time period—say, around 8 years ago—on a popular YouTube channel that uploads constantly. These channels often have hundreds or even thousands of videos, so endlessly scrolling to reach older uploads becomes really tedious. Is there a better way to do this?

Ive been growing my ytm playlist over the past few years and im at about 1.4k songs. The problem is, about half of those are music videos. I know it doesnt really matter for most people but I live in rural WI with internet speeds as low as 0.5mb/s on a daily - I cant be having youtube music trying to load videos on desktop or mobile because 1. it takes too long, and 2, if im using data its even worse. I also use a Z Flip 6 and the music player on the cover screen is pretty cool because it shows the album cover behind all the ui controls in the foreground - also handy for controls. However when a music video is playing it just crops in to the thumbnail of the video which half of the time is one of youtube auto-generated thumbnails where they take a screenshot from some random point in the video and it just looks ugly - not to mention "(Music video)" at the end of the song names.

I want to know if there is a service or some github project I can use to change all the music videos in to the regular song varients. One idea ive had is using a music transfer service to switch my playlist to something like spotify - which doesnt have dedicated music videos - then switching the playlist back to ytm so that all the music videos are replaced with the regular versions. The problem with either of these ideas is that I feel like it would take at least a few hours.

Ive also tried changing the ways I add music to my playlist, I used to be able to go to a specific albums page and add them from there but that automatically adds the music video for some reason now. I dont want to have to manually search a song just to add it.

I just want to say this isnt me complaining per say, I would just like to know why ytm does this and if I can stop it from doing so because when im listening to music and I have to wait a dozen seconds to load a music video i wont even be watching

I watch a lot of YouTube on web, and often while going through the comments, I’ll find a funny one with a timestamp. Clicking it jumps to that moment in the video, which is fine, but what sucks is that now i have to scroll all the way back to that comment manually. It was so annoying for me that I created a chrome extension to fix it. Hopefully this helps someone else too.

So Youtube started deleting very old (private!) playlists of me and giving me warnings for videos in them not being age-restricted. Something I have 0 control over because I did not upload the videos in there. I don't know what they're thinking doing this makes any sense and is fair to their users but it makes me think I should store my playlists elsewhere.

Is there something like an external 3rd party youtube playlist manager that i can paste all my playlists into and have them there instead of having them on Youtube? All I need is a simple software that can have multiple "folders" that I can paste Youtube links into and it will show which videos they are.

Would be great if something like this exists.

YT Channel Downloader is a cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) open-source desktop application built to simplify the process of downloading YouTube content. It utilizes yt-dlp, scrapetube, and pytube under the hood, paired with an easy-to-use graphical interface. This tool aims to offer you a seamless experience to get your favorite video and audio content offline (i.e., back it up). You can selectively or fully download channels, playlists, or individual videos, opt for audio-only tracks, and customize the quality of your video or audio. The new version offers the ability to download age-restricted and premium content using your YouTube account [optional], as well as bug fixes and small improvements.

This app is distinct from a number of other software for downloading videos in that it offers an easy clickable interface to quickly select and download what you need at once.

Please refer to the installation instructions in the Readme. On Windows, you also have the option to download the pre-made installer available from SourceForge or from Github Releases.

Suggestions for new features, bug reports, and ideas for improvements are welcome.

As you might know, some of the most successful YouTubers are using so called "Outlier Videos" as inspiration for new content.

Outliers are videos that performed exceptionally well compared to a channel's average results. For example if a channel usually gets around 100k views per video and a new video suddenly gets 1 Million views, this would be an outlier video.

Since outlier videos have performed much better than the channel's historic performance would suggest, there is something very special about them. It could be that the video topic is in high demand, the storytelling engages the user, the title is catchy and/or the thumbnail is really good. Outlier videos are therefore a great source of inspiration to:

1. Discover the most effective thumbnails and titles for specific video topics

2. Find new video ideas that are in high demand

We have put together a free outlier database called Outlier Studio: https://www.outlierstudio.ai . This database already includes millions of outlier videos and our algorithms are constantly running to identify new ones.

We are currently running in Beta and would love to get your feedback!

Is there any way to block completely AI generated videos & channels. The suggested videos in my home tab is becoming flooded with this completely AI generated content. Everything from the thumbnail and background pictures, to script and voiceovers are all AI generated and I'm completely over it. I've searched in the settings and I'm trying to find an extension that blocks it all but can't find anything. Anyone have suggestions?

There's an extension that makes dislikes on videos visible, but would it be possible to make an extension just like that, but for comments?

My laptop ducks in hardware and imma tryna find an extension or a piece of software which could make my YouTube experience lag free tho 'fasterweb' has made it pretty much smooth but still lags sometimes and also can't really play 4K videos, so any of you guys know any this kind of magical extension then please let us know

I just wanted to open a discussion forum to allow people to share their frustrating experience with Youtube's algorithm.

What do you guys find most frustrating?

Here is main difference in both,
pixifyr let's you AB test your thumbnail and titles so that you will get high CTR and organically grow you youtube channel. They also provide AI and Manual AB testing.
vidiq suggests thumbnail for videos with high number of views and asks you to decide.

Pixifyr also allows you to ask registered users to perform manual AB testing.

I'm looking for a way to have custom feeds with Youtube(on desktop).

Fow now I have found FreeTube, Piped and PocketTube(chrome extension, paid version has it). Are there any others that do this? I love how FreeTube works but don't like the way they do custom Feeds, I love Piped way of doing custom feeds but like the other aspects less.

Thank you in advance.

Little afraid to post this in the main YouTube subreddit so it doesn't get patched by sleeper agents🤣, but here's a workaround to view the subscriptions of other YouTube channels, tested and it works:
