Comment on Ask HN: Have you found it difficult to get quality technical content on YouTube?

Comments

It is difficult. The youtube video recommendation algo works in a way where most views videos get are from first time viewers so content creators adjust to make their videos first time viewer friendly. So it has to be up to the channel to deal with that if they want to make "deep" content - e.g. make it a hidden video that is shared in the description of another video.

The Applied Science channel is a bright counter example, but these are quite rare.
