Our approach

Useful wins over viral.

HowToVids is a learning discovery platform built to surface clear, trustworthy instructional videos. Ten thousand views is the admission threshold, not the definition of 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.
