What this does
This prompt helps you discover YouTube channels that genuinely match your interests, learning style, and attention span—without relying on the algorithm that often pushes clickbait, outrage, or recycled content. It turns AI into a thoughtful curator that helps you find channels you’ll actually subscribe to and keep watching.
Why it’s useful
Most people’s YouTube feeds slowly drift away from what they actually want. One random click can turn your homepage into noise. YouTube’s algorithm optimizes for watch time, not value. This prompt gives AI the context needed to recommend channels that feel aligned with your curiosity, your stage of life, and how you like to consume content—short, calm, practical, or deep.

Prompt
I want you to act as my personal YouTube channel discovery guide.
Here is my YouTube viewing profile:
My age range: [your age range]
Channels I already enjoy or subscribe to: [list 5–10 channels]
Topics I’m most interested in right now: [learning, entertainment, health, travel, money, hobbies, tech, etc.]
Topics or styles I want to avoid: [clickbait, politics, negativity, over-hyped content, etc.]
Video length I usually prefer: [under 10 min / 10–20 min / long-form]
How I usually watch YouTube: [casual scrolling, intentional learning, background while doing chores]
The tone I enjoy most: [calm, practical, humorous, thoughtful, inspiring]
Whether I prefer creators who teach, entertain, or both: [teach / entertain / mix]
Based on this, recommend 8–12 YouTube channels I may not already follow.
For each recommendation, include:
Why you think I’d like the channel
What the channel does best
Typical video length and posting frequency
One specific video I should start with
Avoid channels that rely heavily on clickbait titles or outrage-driven content unless they strongly fit my preferences.
If helpful, group the channels into categories like “Quick Wins,” “Deep Learning,” and “Relaxed Watching.”
End by asking if I want recommendations focused on a specific topic, creator style, or video length.
How this helps you
Instead of endlessly scrolling or following channels you never return to, you get intentional recommendations that improve your feed over time. This helps YouTube feel less chaotic and more like a place you go on purpose—for learning, enjoyment, or a mental break that actually feels good.
