HackerTube, and the Age of Custom Feeds

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 05:20:00 +0000

On Saturday evening Andrej Karpathy posted a link to Hacker News: "HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN." The idea was simple: a YouTube-style page over a few thousand videos, pulled from tens of thousands of Hacker News comments going back to 2007. By Wednesday morning the post had thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments. That is a lot of attention for a seemingly simple idea, and I think there is something deeper in that reaction.

A New YouTube Search Experience

Sun, 01 Nov 2026 14:05:25 +0000

The core mission of Innuce is to simplify the process of finding high-quality content on YouTube. To do that, we score each video's transcript using an LLM, then give you a summary and a content map. This is useful for quickly gauging whether a video is worth watching, but it doesn't solve another big problem with YouTube: the infinite feed.

Today we are shipping Innuce Feed, a new feature that lets you search for a given topic and have our AI filter for the best candidates. That means there is no longer any need to visit YouTube. In fact, Innuce is your new tube! You can configure your profile settings to describe what you're interested in, and our AI filter will take that into consideration when picking videos for you. You can fine-tune the algorithm further by explicitly blocking channels.

It's crazy out there. Every week there's a new AI tool promising you'll be able to automate your full life. OpenAI and Anthropic are releasing models on the same day [1, 2]. Your friendly financial advisor neighbour is convinced he needs to vibe code his own financial tracking app. How do you keep track of all that is happening? No, really, do you know how? If you do please shoot me an email! In the meanwhile, here's a few videos that helped me to make sense of what's happening right now

How to Know If a YouTube Video Is Worth Watching

You open YouTube.

So many enticing videos.

The titles sound promising.
The thumbnails spark your curiosity.
Even the preview looks good.

Still… you hesitate.

Because you don’t actually know if the video is worth your time.

Sometimes you trust the creator. You like their content and usually enjoy what they make. But those creators are the exception. For most channels, it’s hit or miss. And for a creator you’ve never seen before, clicking feels like a gamble.
