How to Save Time Watching Videos Efficiently

While watching videos, you often gather valuable information that can help save time. However, simply liking a clip does not effectively help you decide whether to watch new videos from the same channel.

The Channel groups and rating extension solves this by allowing you to link your impressions to your subscriptions through grouping channels together. This organization helps you quickly find relevant clips and avoid spending time on broadcasts that do not interest you.

For example, if you subscribe to a channel that uploads many videos daily but only one weekly show interests you, the extension lets you hide unnecessary videos with one click. You just add the channel to a YouTube folder and include it in a filter when needed.

By ranking and organizing YouTube channels, this extension streamlines your viewing experience, making it easier and faster to access content that matters to you.

How to Organize and Manage Many YouTube Subscriptions Efficiently

If you have many YouTube subscriptions, the Channel groups and rating extension helps you organize them efficiently by grouping channels into hierarchical categories, similar to folders.

This extension extends the capabilities of the native YouTube subscription manager found on the subscription management page by allowing you to create channel groups (YouTube folders) that mimic the old YouTube collections feature.

Unlike the discontinued collections, the data you create with this extension is stored on your Google Drive, giving you full control. You can back up, sync, view, or delete this data just like a regular file on Google Drive.

Besides organizing channels into folders, the extension also lets you manage your subscriptions using ratings, offering an additional way to sort and prioritize your channels.

Why Is Channel Rating Important for Managing YouTube Subscriptions?

With the Channel groups and rating extension, YouTube folders already allow filtering subscriptions by groups, but this method lacks the flexibility provided by numerical ratings.

When you filter subscriptions by group, you must manually click the corresponding checkbox in the filter tree. If you want to switch to a different category, you often need to search for another checkbox that might be far from the previous one, which wastes time.

In contrast, the channel rating feature lets you adjust the minimum rating value in one place, eliminating the need to search through the group checkboxes.

For example, you can assign a higher rating to channels whose shows you always want to watch, and a lower rating to those you can skip. Depending on your available time, you can quickly change the minimum rating value with a single button to see videos that fit your schedule.

While the YouTube folder name helps you filter by topic, the channel rating helps limit the list of videos regardless of topic, making subscription management more efficient and personalized.
