Im consuming a lot of content on youtube then ever, news, science, programming, design, you name it. I know that youtube and other platforms change some rules about its algorithm and most creators are adapting to it. But very often I get the feeling that they are loosing a lot of time before going to the point just to keep me there - to make videos around 8min or 20min. I get it, they need to make money, but the worst part are those that don’t even deliver what the title was about, or are fake, just to grab my play.

So I decided to make something for myself, and i've been enjoying it.

(Chrome extension is not ready in marketplace, if anyone wants please send feedback on site i can share the package for testing)

Any feedback is super welcome.

i got a bit further and did this for articles on web, with the chrome extension, they all go to the same Feed on the app.

Then i started to have fun and pulled my likes to make mani podcasts and revisit content on the go, and i actually enjoyed 1 or 2 lol! but that wasnt the core.

Now im kind of in a crossroad, for me personally is cool, i like and use it everyday. But it has some costs, openAI, Supadata (to get trasncripts), etc. For me its ok, but to scale i dont see people paying for this, and i cant keep that cost. I thought that maybe i could let people add their api keys and use it if they will, but im not sure i want to save those with me (im not engeneer so i dont really understand the security problem).

Some thoughts that also crossed my mind during the process: - TLDRing everything, am i incentivizing this high-speed consumption, short attention spans? A toxic culture of “no one has time for anything”? - It feels like more and more people are becoming creators. And with AI many are doing 10x more content optimized for algorithms and retention (which I understand).

Will this be worse in the near furutre? Do you feel the same?
