You’ve probably already subscribed to some channels. Based on that, YouTube then recommends a few others you might like. But let’s be honest, these are often very bad. So if you’re fed up with irrelevant recommendations for your channel on YouTube, you should move away from that algorithm and find another way to discover creators.
Some websites maintain a directory of all YouTube channels and offer a way to filter or search them. Others use crowdsourced recommendations to find similar channels. And you can always count on curators to show you the best YouTube creators.
1. FindAChannel (Web): YouTube Channel Directory with Advanced Search Features
There are over 50 million channels on YouTube, but as you can imagine, most of them aren’t worth subscribing to. Staff at Find A Channel (FAC) have indexed over 210,000 unique channels of hers that you need to know about.
The site’s main page lets you search, sort, or filter channels in creative ways. For example, you can set how many subscribers your channel has, how many videos you’ve uploaded, how many times it’s been viewed, and when it starts. You can also set a low, medium or high “gravity”. This is his FAC’s estimate of how engaging the channel’s content is.
You can find great listings created with these creative filtering options in the Explore Channels section. For example, “Rising Stars” lists 100 of his YouTube channels that were launched in the last three years and already have between 1,000 and 25,000 subscribers. Or you have a channel with a large number of subscribers but few uploaded videos.
All listings display the channel’s name, description in the “Overview” section, total videos, subscribers, views, and estimated monthly earnings. You can also always run into cool creators using the Random Channel button.
If you like FindAChannel, also check out Channel Crawler. Channel Crawler indexes over 5 million channels and offers advanced search and filter options. We’ve detailed it before in Tools for discovering new YouTube channels.
2. Similar Channels (Web): Find similar YouTube channels that people recommend
Similar Channels, as the name suggests, is a website that finds channels similar to popular YouTube creators. But unlike the YouTube algorithm, all channel suggestions here are from the general public, and anyone can upvote or downvote these suggestions to get the best ranking. can do.
When you search for a channel, you’ll see a list of similar channels added by other users, along with basic information about that channel (subscribers, views, number of videos posted, etc.). Again, this list shows the same basic information for each channel, ranked by user votes. By signing up, you can choose to be notified when someone adds a new suggestion.
Similar Channels also allows users to create collections of channels that anyone can view. This is a great way to find YouTube creators related to a particular subject, even if they don’t appear as similar channels.
Browse similar channels by categories such as technology, food, sports, knowledge, music, games, and other popular genres on YouTube. There’s also a button to go to a random channel, allowing you to discover new favourites, perhaps by accident.

Finally, you can also view the top 500 earners on YouTube over the past day, week, or month to discover new channels to follow.
How to download all videos by channel
YouTube now officially allows you to download videos through YouTube Premium, but it’s not easy. Especially if you discover a new channel, I recommend downloading all the videos so you can watch them while commuting or exercising. Alternatively, you can simply download any new videos your channel posts.
For some reason YouTube doesn’t have an easy option for this. It’s annoying and frustrating. For now, the best workaround is to create a playlist of all your channel’s videos and then use one of the best YouTube playlist downloaders.
