I pushed the "Collections" feature in BiteTube. What it does is you can create your account and then start adding your own playlists of videos which you can share with other people. Most beneficial for content creators because it pushes your content more organically.

Users also have a new "Profile" page now where you can check out your number of likes, dislikes and shares on all of your collections.

And yes, likes, dislikes and shares are available on each collections as well to keep track of how the collections are doing.

This is a pro feature which you can use for free right now.

Tell me what new feature YOU pushed this week!

So this week I launched BiteTube which as the title suggests, has a feed for content but without any algorithm which only pushes videos which generate them ad revenue, whether you like them or not.

I think context matters for a lot of videos, since you can't decide the topic of a video from thumbnail and title alone sometimes. So we have context menu which gives you info about who the video is for, why you should watch it as well as when to watch it so you always know what you're getting yourself into.

We also have a dynamic "algorithm" where if you click "Explore More" when you're on a certain type of video, it only shows you videos with that vibe.

Since a lot of people were complaining about Youtubes repetitive algorithm where it only shows you content from the same 10 content creators, as well as pushing fast paced brainrot type of videos, I thought this type of platform is necessary so you can gain back the control on your feed, only watch what you're interested in and then close the app without spending more time than you intended.

You guys can also help in sharing content you deem watchable and useful from the website, as well as leave any type of feedback you have. Thanks for reading : )

So a week ago I launched BiteTube, nothing big just a platform where users can share their recommended Youtube videos to curate the feed. So a Youtube feed but without algorithms or view driven AIs.

I built this for the purpose of having a platform where there are quality videos and you don't have to look for them for 10 minutes. We have filters based off mood and duration, as well as collections to watch good quality content non-stop.

But here's the problem. The only time I'm getting users is when I'm consistently posting about it on Reddit. Here's an example:

As you can see, there's a big drop in users because I haven't posted in a while. How do I make users return? Suggest me some ideas which I can work on.

I'm already trying to add more videos to the feed.

So I built this platform where every recommendation is based on real people, no AI or view-driven algorithm. Point is to make people enjoy content once again.

Youtube's algorithm has ruined it. It only pushes brainrot and fast paced videos, or the same 10 creators.

So we need your help to curate this feed, which is manually checked and approved. So no trash here.

So what is the best method to gather feedback on my app BiteTube?

Its a manually curated Youtube feed. If you're tired of Youtube algorithm recommending you videos which only means to drive them views for more ad revenue, this is the correct place to go to.

We have feed curated by users of the app, videos they deem of sharing with others because they are high quality videos to watch, not a view-driven algorithm. Furthermore, we have filters to choose by duration and mood so your experience is always personalized.

But I am kind of lost now, where to go, what to implement or what to improve. Sure I get visitors on my site but I don't get any feedback on it.

What methods do you guys think would work to get a clear idea on what to work on?

As the title says, I have been working on BiteTube which is a platform where users share their recommendations and the feed is curated based on it. So no more views-driven algorithm shoving fast paced brainrot down your throat.

We even have filters based on duration (if you have little time) and mood, so your experience can be personalized.

Help us curate the feed so we don't have to watch low quality garbage recommended by Youtube algorithm.

I'm thinking of adding a "Watch Party" feature on my app BiteTube, where you can share a room code with someone and watch the same video with a designated comment section with emojis and stickers.

What do you guys think?

I built BiteTube - No need to spend 10 minutes scrolling to find a good Youtube video to watch while your food gets cold.

Here is the link:

What did you build? Please share in the comments

So a couple days ago I randomly had this thought in my head.

There are so many Youtube videos but I keep getting the same 10 creators recommended to me. And of course I'm not alone. I've seen the meme of people saying we spend 10 minutes searching for a good youtube video to watch while we eat. I've even seen people create entire Instagram page where they post reels related to underrated/must watch Youtube videos.

So I said why not build a platform where people can share videos, which are handpicked and manually approved to show on the feed. So no more brainrot, AI recommended and fast paced videos.

Now for this to grow, I need you guys to help me out and recommend even more videos.

No more spending 10 minutes to find a hidden gem, just for your food to get cold!

I built a website where people can share underrated youtube videos which the algorithm won't show you (see my previous post).

I have now added the feature to share videos for the public. You can now share videos by simply copying the link and pasting it, along some other details and I'll manually check them out and approve them.

Let's help this website to grow more so more people can join in!

Here it is - BiteTube

A couple days ago I launched a website, where you can share videos you think are 10/10 "watch when you eat" videos because as you know for a while Youtube has been promoting brainrot and fast paced content for its revenue generation, so I thought why not create a platform where we can share the underrated type content.

Now I have watched A LOT of Youtube, but my mind went blank when I was sharing some of the videos. So I need you guys' help. Give me your list of videos you think everyone should watch at least once, or underrated videos/channels which I can add there. Thank!

>Note: When I say "Day 3" or "Day 4", I don't mean its the 3rd or 4th day of consecutive email sending. It just specifies the day of the post. I might have spent 2-3 days sending emails and follow ups but when giving you guys update I give it this specific day.

Let's give you guys the stats first. Sent 54 cold emails, personalized, with 2 follow ups afterwards. Sent 40 facebook dms, same thing in a span of 10 days. Now I know this is not a lot, but it reminded me of this quote,

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Here's why I think that. As per my experience, I've learned that you could write personalized emails, have banger subject lines and choose any time you want to send the emails. At the end of the day, it comes down to quantity. From what I've seen, people are getting 2-3 domains, making 7-8 emails and sending like 1000 emails per day.

And their stats would tell you that the percentage of you closing a deal is very little. And the only way to achieve that is to increase the number of emails sent per day.

A little test I did was, on the last follow up, I turned on mail tracking. And I found out a lot of my emails were getting read but they wouldn't reply back.

That's why I'm going to stop here. The whole point of this was to not use automation, use generic email, send personalized email. I think it could work with warm outreach, but no chance with cold outreach.

What did work for me though was Facebook dms. Even though I got rejected a lot, I was getting replies. I think the main reason was because Facebook dms does not allow you to turn off seen receipts when you have a business account. That's why you're going to get more replies as compared to email (which does not have a receipt option) so it's less likely to get left on read (Some psychological reason).

So I think I will keep trying on Facebook dms, let me know if you guys want me to share that too.

Overall, done with cold emailing using this method. Tried a lot of strategies but it all failed.

Let me know what you guys think, share your opinions below.

For a long time I've been seeing people complain about how Youtubers no longer make videos which you can genuinely enjoy watching.

But it's not their fault. It's because Youtube's algorithm pushes videos which would generate them more money, so they're pushing brainrot to you.

That's why I decided to build BiteTube where you can go and find high quality Youtube videos to watch. These are hand-picked by me and in future, the users too.

For now we just have a couple of videos but in the future I'll make it so users can share all those underrated videos they want others to watch.

And I have a lot more in my mind, which I'm going to implement in this app.

Let me know what you think if it!
