I was actually thinking of publishing them directly to YouTube, under a HackerTube channel, with playlists automatically generated and maintained by your existing curation pipeline.

Yes please, not sure why this does not exist yet. I would even think that almost all YouTube video links from HN would make a better experience compared to the algo feed.

That would be great. And then, if for any reason YouTube decides to take down this site or prevent embedding in hackertube.org, we would have a backup.

Having HackerTube videos as playlists inside YT makes the video selection available on any device with YouTube app on it, like TVs etc.

Good stuff, I have similar thoughts about the recommendation algo and planned to build something like HT but never got around to it!

My favourite thing about early YouTube was the “Most Viewed” with “Last Hour”, “Today”, “Yesterday”, etc. Obviously this is not the most up to date catalog of videos but it would be cool to get a similar view count over date range filter.
