Turn Any YouTube Channel Into a Course

How do you handle long videos you don't have time for?

[CoursifyYT @CoursifyYT]

Made a custom Gemini Gem that turns YouTube videos into text notes. Paste a link → get a detailed, blog-post style summary. Great for deciding if a video's worth watching or revising one you already saw. Setup: Gems > New Gem > write instructions > test > save. About 5 min.

@ChainChaserVN Hi. What are you building?

[CoursifyYT @CoursifyYT]

5/ Not a sales pitch — just think it's a good case study in how communities can push back on platform-level incentive structures from the outside. Has anyone here noticed their own content drifting toward clickbait without meaning to?

[CoursifyYT @CoursifyYT]

1/ Why does every YouTube thumbnail look the same now? Shocked face, red circle, arrow, ALL CAPS title. It's not random — it's an incentive problem. A thread 🧵

[CoursifyYT @CoursifyYT]

4/ There's an interesting open-source pushback to this: a community-driven project that crowdsources accurate replacement titles/thumbnails, using real screenshots from actual video timestamps instead of staged drama. Been running since 2023.

CoursifyYT V2 is live! Please, go and check.

[CoursifyYT @CoursifyYT]

Here's my setup: → Download the video, go offline → Unhook extension (removes Shorts, autoplay, sidebar) → DuckDuckGo DuckPlayer (no ads, no recommendations) → Google Gemini Gem → converts video to readable text.

How do you actually learn on YouTube without getting hijacked by the algorithm? #YouTube #Productivity #LearnInPublic #Productivity

Unhook is a free Chrome extension that removes YouTube Shorts, recommendations, autoplay, and comments. YouTube becomes a tool again, not a trap. Install free: https://t.co/Sy5UlQ3siW

YouTube's recommendation algorithm drives 70%+ of all watch time on the platform. It's not a bug. It's the whole business model. I have been using a chrome extension "Unhook" that fixes it. What do you use for YouTube?

[CoursifyYT @CoursifyYT]

Turn YouTube Channel into Course! Try out extension.
