I'd love an Inter-dimensional Cable channel, just weird surreal stuff

It reminds me of this project, that used old clips from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, to create a TV-like experience from back in the day:

Also reminds me of Bob Dylan's "How Does It Feel" website:

Which has folks from The History channel, Pawn Stars, etc

This is so weird because yesterday, or the day before I was trying to think of some sample code to work on, and I did want to simulate a TV set with youtube. Not exactly like yours, no channel guide, but the basics and I think there is a weird reason besides inside knowledge why prediction markets "work"!!

Looks great!

made this when youtube api dropped around 2007 in flash. was called TraumTV

There's a nice interview with Stallman where he's asked about this: what are people's motivation for contributing to Free software.

I find him speaking really soothing.

I like the idea of everyone getting fed the same content. But I also especially love being able to discover new videos and channels that are hopefully curated by humans.

It might be better to just turn this on when I'm wanting to watch something than open YouTube and look at my homepage.

Would love a way to get this on my tv! Casting from a browser would be too much

I want something like this for Plex, where I can just turn it on and have some of my favorite shows play random episodes, and I wish Plex made that easy to do.

Ah, it's interesting but if you really want the cable TV experience, there is pluto.tv which works in a browser, and is generally installed on most streaming boxes/sticks/TVs.

Does this avoid YouTube ads or pass them through? I somewhat wonder if this kind of thing is the reason that YouTube wants to progressively lock down their platform. (They don't want users avoiding their algorithms and their ads.)
