+===== Channels =====
+==== Music ====
+They don't usually last forever, but Youtube has some real treasure troves.
+  * [[ytc>TheXMusicArchive|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.
+  * [[ytc>vinylshellac|Vinyl and shellac by Starday]]\\ Mostly 20s--50s American music. I particularly like going through the singles.
+  * [[ytc>Flavichansamuraimusicinvestigator|Flavi-chan samurai music investigator]]\\ A bit like Xerching: lots of good album uploads, mostly Japanese.
+  * [[ytchan>UCxy4bwVLkbpG6n-nH_j63hA|Eric Rhodes II]]\\ Hasn't updated in months, but has full albums of 80s rarities from all over.\\ Sequel channel to [[ytchan>UCJ1yNrt4QXGfIshXhuATHfw|Eric Rhodes]], which's mostly bass covers, but has a few interesting album and bootleg uploads.
+  * [[ytchan>Musicforemptyrooms|Music for empty rooms]]\\ Single songs. Rare jazz, soul...
+  * [[ytchan>17_KAREN_LOVERs_28|Inheritance Bloodtype B Legends - Official -]]\\ J-pop stuff off the telly.
+  * [[ytchan>TerminalPassage|Terminal Passage]]\\ Mostly smooth jazzy funky  instrumental stuff?
+  * [[ytchan>yaoiboi92|yaoiboi92]]\\ Rare stuff, a lot's pretty mid, but worth a shot.
+  * [[ytchan>MrRevisorn|MrRevisorn]]\\ Good mixes/playlists.
+  * [[ytchan>nattligatoner2]]\\ Rare tracks, synthy.
+  * [[ytchan>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 [[ffaddon>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.
+  * Use a container in [[firefox]], and don't store cookies.
+  * Regularly wipe all the other stuff it stores on your computer with [[ffaddon>cookie-autodelete]], this way you'll avoid it's recommendations.
+  * Use a browser plugin so you can block whichever channels you choose from being shown to you.
+  * Try clients like [[Invidious]] and [[NewPipe]].
