I couldn't help but agree with a lot in this article. Youtube's video page tends to be too busy and distracting. It's more of an entertainment/pop culture platform, if anything. It's really hard for tutorial/educational content to rise, and since they don't reach that many page views many channels don't collect much revenue from youtube.

which is why, recently I launched a site called Starseed - it's a youtube-like platform just for tutorial/educational videos. Starseed.io was created so that tutorial authors can upload tutorials on any topic they care about – no matter how advanced – for free and start collecting donations on their video’s page from day one. It's sort of like each channel on starseed is like the PBS network - getting funded by its viewers.

you can check it out at http://www.starseed.io/.

I hope, one day, educational channels can sit on a platform meant for their growth and not competing against epic meal time lol.
