My current one is https://limnology.co/ , organizing the top 70k educational youtubers in 20 languages. Youtube's channel discovery is pretty bad, and I wanted an easy way to find new channels about the topics I'm interested in. Still a work in progress as the problem turned out to be a lot harder than I thought.

Unfortunately all the other languages have too few results, I just checked and Greek only has 0.7% as many channels as English in the db, so it'd only be a few pages of content

I did think about it, but my concern was that because I only take a small subset of top keywords for each channel, it's very easy to create a combination of tags that'll show no results. I'll play around with it and see if it makes sense to implement.

Because it's a "list"? I don't think that's correct, there's ballpark 200k different pages with unique content in that app, that's a lot more than just a list.

I had to split it because the sheer size of Indian audiences breaks all the metrics, and yet those videos would not be super relevant in the west as a very large percentage of the Indian educational youtube consists of various kinds of local exam/test preparation channels

It's in the database: https://limnology.co/en/creators/UCHn_K1zOBYZqtmIYkXLEIQw
And on the second page for the anatomy keyword https://limnology.co/en/languages/en/keywords/anatomy?page=2
I think it got somewhat downranked because of the recent views/subscribers mismatch

Try digging deeper into the "Related Keywords" cloud at the top, the narrower is the keyword you pick, the more long-form & technical and the less pop-channell-y stuff you'll see.

I'll add a report button, it definitely needs it. All of that data is from the the youtube channels themselves and _a lot_ of them mislabel things, even such basic ones as their channel's language.

Thanks! Search box has been requested multiple times, so will implement, and reverse search is already possible here: https://limnology.co/en/channels

Yeah, that is something I'd love to implement but so far could not figure it out, even simply interlinking the keywords across 20 different languages is very non-trivial
