Read YouTube instead
of watching it
AI summarizes your favorite channels so you can learn the key insights in minutes, not hours.
YouTube is designed to keep you watching
Infinite scroll, autoplay, and recommendations are engineered to maximize watch time.
Meanwhile, your subscription feed is drowning in content you'll never get to.
You subscribed to learn. But learning takes focus, not dopamine hits.
