Don't have too many thoughts on this. If you have high quality speech to text you can use more traditional search algorithms. Would be curious what it would be like if search wasn't weighted by reference, view, or more complicated algorithms. A peer-to-peer implementation would be the means to distribute costs without marketing. Think it would be useful if there were no suggested videos either on the main page or after clicking on a video. Disabled these using a userscript for some time and it seemed to greatly improve my efficiency with the platform.

Most of the significant improvements you could make to youtube would just be restoring features that have been removed over time to "streamline" it, like support for response videos, community captions, and so on. You could say this is due to capitalism (optimizing the platform for attention retention and data collection), but the platform used to have these things and it was still capitalism.

Another feasible thought would be to turn over content filtering, and search algorithms over to the user so they can disable content they don't want to see. On this website use the hide button for images and the [-] button for threads very frequently, and even these small additions make this website far more useable for me than it would otherwise be. Beleive BlueSky is expereimenting with this sort of functionality, and probably others.

Pretty much peertube, but if loops.video was part of it.
