Youtube is a hellhole.
Channels
Music
They don't usually last forever, but Youtube has some real treasure troves.
- Xearching For Sounds
Full albums of 80s J-Pop, city pop, (mostly Japanese) jazz, and generally stuff you don't see elsewhere. Real good. Has some looong mixes too I haven't gone through. - Vinyl and shellac by Starday
Mostly 20s–50s American music. I particularly like going through the singles. - Flavi-chan samurai music investigator
A bit like Xerching: lots of good album uploads, mostly Japanese. - Eric Rhodes II
Hasn't updated in months, but has full albums of 80s rarities from all over.
Sequel channel to Eric Rhodes, which's mostly bass covers, but has a few interesting album and bootleg uploads. - Music for empty rooms
Single songs. Rare jazz, soul… - Inheritance Bloodtype B Legends - Official -
J-pop stuff off the telly. - Terminal Passage
Mostly smooth jazzy funky instrumental stuff? - yaoiboi92
Rare stuff, a lot's pretty mid, but worth a shot. - MrRevisorn
Good mixes/playlists. - nattligatoner2
Rare tracks, synthy. - DiscoSegreta
Euro Disco, mostly Italian.
Privacy
Tips to make Youtube less shit:
- Don't use an account. If you want to follow channels you can us RSS. Google obscures the feed URL, but I use youtube-rss-finder to put a little button in the Address bar.
- Some people use this kinda thing to set it up so their computer downloads videos they want to watch, so they can watch them offline.
- Use a container in Firefox, and don't store cookies.
- Automatically wipe all the other stuff it stores on your computer with cookie-autodelete, this way you'll avoid it's recommendations.
- Use a browser plugin like blocktube so you can block whichever channels you choose from being shown to you.
Sharing
To make a video URL start at a particular time you can define it in minutes and seconds by adding &t=XmYs
to the end, where X is the minute and Y is the number of seconds, for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRTSSzccALA&t=1m0s
