Curated Videos (from Youtube) : No Fuzz Entry Point (for example to Yoga) - BUT WOULD YOU USE IT?

Opportunity:

Video content is a preferred media by most users (content consumers), and a number of platforms - notably the giant youtube - offers free quality content.
Howerver, some users will find themselves lost in "the content ocean" - missing a proper overview and introducution to a given topic and distracted by non-relevant suggestions.

Test this: Choose a topic, it chould be yoga (you considering to start doing yoga at home). Now, can youtube itself provide an overview of the most popular channels or videos releated to that topic??

Many free video platforms, including Youtube, allow for embedding of free video content via API. This enables an alterntive curated experience!

But can the idea fly - would you use it?

    Note:
    Youtube comes with the promise that any video can be found. But their business model necessitates, I conclude, that every new content creator within a given subject has a fightning chance to be discovered

    Thus youtube has an incentive not to create a highlight (best of) content/channels within a given topic, as it would demotivate aspiring or new contenet creators.

    On youtube, you gotta do some research yourself, but ... maybe there is room for an alternative :-)
