Our approach
Useful wins over viral.
HowToVids is a learning discovery platform built to surface clear, trustworthy instructional videos. Automatic discovery requires ten thousand views. Editors can also add lesser-known videos based on their instructional quality.
The quality score
Our score combines instructional intent, audience reach, engagement, and freshness. Human review remains available for anything the automated system gets wrong.
How videos are selected
The discovery process searches through the official YouTube Data API, rejects private or non-embeddable videos, applies the minimum-view rule, assigns a category, and sends new candidates to the admin review queue before publication.
