Yes, this is actually something I've been thinking about quite a bit, I actually built out the playlist feature just this morning because it's easier to "show" how Plato works, but I basically just wrote some scripts to get some good enough videos for the demo
If you have any good channel suggestions I'd love to add them :))
One of the things I have on the backburner for now is building a BERT classifier to decide whether the video is Educational, Edu-tainment, or not educational at all and have a more customizable video suggestion than YouTube has (I actually have 2 accounts on YouTube, just so I can watch some random video on 1 without it polluting my education/learning heavy one)
One thing though, is I actually think both have their merit, while I agree the actual educational content is pretty different, the educational entertainment is a nice alternative to TikTok or IG reels when you just want to mindlessly scroll, I think there still often some useful content there, especially if you don't have any background in the area
classifier to decide whether the video is Educational, Edu-tainment, or not educational at all
I'm a bit surprised to only see like 3 questions for a 14 minute video of quantum mechanics. For educational videos with very dense information, is there a way to raise the questions per video rate?
Looking forward to see MIT OpenCourseware videos supported. Right now they are too long :D
Working on that soon! That's actually also one of the reasons I'm limiting to 30 min, 5 questions definitely isn't enough for 1 hour video but I have some fixes in the work for it!
Pm me (email in bio) and I can add some MIT OCW videos and turn on support for longer videos to your account

Thank you!!
