Q: How to Collect and Organize 2019 News Using YouTube Channels?

You can use YouTube, which hosts over 37 million channels that you can subscribe to for free. Unlike traditional paid subscriptions, YouTube subscriptions are free, supported by ads unless you have a premium subscription. After subscribing to channels of interest, you will receive a large amount of video content daily. To avoid mixing unrelated news topics, such as science and finance, install the Channel groups and rating browser extension. This extension allows you to specify news topics and assign ratings to channels, helping you filter content based on your preferences and available time. It also enables you to write comments linked to each video and channel, helping track important moments and manage subscriptions effectively.

You can use YouTube, which hosts over 37 million channels that you can subscribe to for free. Many people associate subscriptions with paid services like magazines or newspapers, but on YouTube, subscriptions are free. Instead, you either watch ads or pay for a premium subscription to avoid ads on any channel.

After finding and subscribing to the necessary channels, you will receive a large volume of video material every day. If you follow diverse topics, such as science news and finance news, it can become confusing.

To manage this, install the Channel groups and rating browser extension. This extension helps you specify topics for your news channels and assign a rating to each channel individually. Using these ratings, you can filter channels not only by topic but also based on your available free time.

Sometimes you may encounter unreliable news sources and want to track all their content. With the extension, you can write comments for each video where you notice important details. These comments are linked to the channel, giving you a personal profile for each channel.

Thus, when you come across a video with significant information, you can take notes and avoid wasting time on channels that do not meet your standards. The Channel groups and rating extension is a powerful tool for organizing, rating, and managing YouTube news channels effectively for 2019 news collection.

How to Effectively Manage and Organize YouTube Subscription Channels

YouTube has a Manage page on the subscriptions page. On this Manage page, you see a sorted list of YouTube channels that you are subscribed to. Opposite each channel there is an unsubscribe button and options for sending notifications.

As a rule, if you have more than 10 channels, then you start to miss the channel grouping function. When you create many files on the file system, you tend to put them in a folder. And when you have many folders, then you create a separate folder for them. This makes it easier to find the file from memory. A good way to organize channels should include the function of creating YouTube folders or groups that can be placed in other groups. In YouTube itself, there is no such opportunity, or rather, it was removed several years ago.

For the function of grouping YouTube channels to appear, you must use the browser extension Channel groups and rating. As soon as you install this extension and log in, you will have 2 additional buttons on the subscription management page. These buttons will allow you to specify the folder for each subscription.

Besides YouTube folders, you can also rate subscriptions. The rating in this case shows the value of the materials of this channel.

Once you're done creating folders and rating your YouTube subscriptions, you can return to the subscriptions page and check out the new video filtering options. From now on, you can filter by YouTube folder and channel rating.

Bonus.

For YouTube channels, you can also create a dossier from comments. To create a dossier, you need to link important comments to the channel. This channel dossier will help you understand how valuable this channel is to you. If the channel turned out to be useless for you, then you will know exactly why you unsubscribed from it.
