The Viewer: Hand-picked video recommendations to surprise & delight you

Hand-picked video recommendations to surprise and delight you, straight to your inbox every Saturday, from the team behind The Browser.

Thank you so much for The Viewer! It's been a great bonding activity for my brother and me to watch the videos together since lockdown began. We're curious about your process for discovering and sifting through all the content -- particularly since you sometimes recommend videos in the low hundreds of views!

@sjain Thanks for the question, Saanya, and so happy it's been helpful! I have several different avenues to discover new videos -- accounts on various video sites that I check daily (primarily YouTube, where I'm subscribed to 500+ channels). Reddit is also a surprisingly good outlet for new videos with low view counts; creators who are just starting out often post their videos there to try and gain traction.

@abraham_callard Amazing, thank you! Already looking forward to the next installment.

It can be daunting to sift through online media—300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute!—but for those who nonetheless want to experience the best the internet has to offer, The Viewer will be invaluable. The Viewer is an offshoot of thebrowser.com, a popular curator of top-quality online writing; we focus instead on curating the best video content from around the web. Every Saturday, you'll get a newsletter in your inbox with five hand-picked videos, each accompanied by a brief capsule explaining the gist of the video (which includes history, music, movies, news, politics, philosophy and much more!). The Viewer is edited by me, Abe Callard. I'm 17 and have essentially grown up on the internet. I thought I should translate all those thousands of hours spent watching YouTube videos into something that benefits others.

@abraham_callard Amazing, thank you! Already looking forward to the next installment.
