I started idenest as an experiment in understanding YouTube subscription structure — if you look at all the channels someone subscribes to, what kind of structure appears?
On YouTube, subscriptions are intentional. You don’t subscribe to everything you click. You subscribe to what you want to keep.
Over time, those choices form structure.
Most platforms optimize for engagement. They focus on what you might watch next.
I was more interested in something quieter: what have you already chosen to follow?
Subscriptions are long-term signals. When combined, they form a structure.
You can optionally organize your subscriptions into your own custom collections, making them easier to understand and manage.
If you choose, you can share selected channel collections with friends. Sharing is fully opt-in and private by default.
idenest connects with permission and requests read-only access to subscriptions only.
It does not access watch history. It does not post anything. It does not sell data.
idenest is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
