lots of short-form 10min or less standup andother comdedy and odd thngs we like (hydraulic press channel being the stand-out example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>would be interesting to have a method of having the same-smae list of all devices.  maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i have asked the chrome dev and the devs of the chrome extension &#8220;Improve Youtube&#8221;
