Re:Ask HN: Anyone sells YouTube video lists?

Personally, I would add some data to your search engine every time a person makes a new search query by searching that same query on youtube's api (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/) or by scraping the data. Now that you've got some relevant results, you can sort through those (or all of the URLs you have collected) to give a more refined list of search results. If you want to pay me to get it done, I would be fine with that too.
The problem with buying a premade list (even if there is such a thing) is that it would be a whole lot of trouble to keep it updated.

The same sort of things might be happening with bitcoin. Or, it could have real value because it's an easy-to-use currency.
No Job
I looked for countless jobs online without response. My resume changed more frequently than my linux distro and was noticed less than an FAQ. HR is a filter, permitting only resumes that match the job description. Each job description could be a mirror of each resume I submitted. My resumes sat on top of the filters. I looked closely to see what was stopping my resume from going through. I sent...
