Some of us are working together to build a YouTube video curation site, following a discussion a few days ago on HN. (although we're thinking mostly kids contents, but it doesn't have to be only that) See the discussion from then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20528913

I'm hoping to get a bunch of YouTubers involved, since they want to get their stuff out there, and I think we can do better than YouTube at that. Notice that we won't be serving the videos, but we will embed them in a site.

The goal is to have something to put up on HN within two months.

What you're suggesting is a good idea - esp. for children's content - but isn't this sort of disintermediation against Youtube's T&C?

Not sure how it would be, could you elaborate? I mean, they allow you to embed videos in web sites. How would this be against the rules?

We're not downloading and redistributing, if that's what you mean. Only embedding. They still get to show ads.
