I ended up with this: No login, no feed, no "here's 100 recommendations you didn't ask for. When I'm eating, I don't really want to choose. I just want one decent video that fits how I feel right now. So I started tagging stuff like: Whenever I watched something good, I'd drop it into my list and give it a mood.
