Reading the Channels — HN Video Index archive

This archive groups videos using the publication dates, topics and source details stored with each entry. Its entries include 3Blue1Brown, Confreaks, Andor Gafotas. The recommendation excerpts are the reason a video appears in HackerTube: they show what a Hacker News commenter actually said, rather than a rating invented for this site. Open a video to read every available excerpt, see the author and date, and follow the original comment back to its discussion. A recommendation is personal context for choosing what to watch, and does not mean that every reader agrees with the commenter.

The displayed recommendation count is the number of distinct authors in the preserved evidence. Several comments by the same author count once. These counts describe the imported records, so they should not be read as total YouTube audiences or complete counts of every mention elsewhere. Publication dates belong to the YouTube uploads; an event named in a title may have taken place earlier. Follow topic and year links to explore another route through the same material, or use the curated collections when you want a selected sequence. Playback remains on YouTube, and the original discussion links let you assess the recommendation before you spend time watching.
