Show HN: Dynamic Map of YouTube Channels

That's a fun visualization and interesting to see. The bottleneck here is probably that it looks like the channels need to be submitted manually, but optimally that gets resolved over time.

The larger challenge might be that given your vision this should help with choosing what to watch. But seeing this, it might not give me enough to actually make the choice. I do recognize some of the channels there and I like that clicking on the ones I know I see connected ones I don't recognize – so those might be ones to check out. But how and why are they connected? Are the channels covering the same topics, or are they sharing a lot of the same viewers?

I would also like the text to be a bit more readable on when clicking on a channel. The contrast is such that there's a bit of friction to read it, and the fact it appears in the top right corner of my screen makes me move my eyes back and forth constantly. Maybe the information could pop up closer to the bubble (but I understand it might then overlap the links).

Just some thoughts! I did find some channels I might want to check out!

Now that's pretty cool. Nice job!

Although, it looks like this relies on user input rather than indexing existing channels. Wondering if that's unfairly negating channels simply through omission.

I like it though. Hope you can get the momentum it needs to help it grow!

I made this because in my opinion youtube algorithm push all of us for viral thing instead of more interesring stuff, so i started to create an inceractive catalogue (or map) of YT channels for everybody!
