Most of the focus was on the website curation. The YT channels were curated from the initial list of sources [1] and then automatically filtered by recency and subscriber count criteria.

That is to say that very little other effort was made to curate the YT channels and we expect the user community will contribute to edit the list.

Also I was under impression that all YouTube channels had ads, so that is why this was not considered as a seperate criterion.

I think we are here talking about organic ads (sponsorship, …etc.) not YouTube as platform ads.

Thanks for clarifying. Yeah we should establish a criterion around that. Curating YT is much more work it feels like. Let's see how "Small YouTube" [1] feels like to begin with and we can take it from there.

By the way, you can perhaps check https://nebula.tv for a list of good YouTube channels (not all of them are great IMO, but a lot of people who make content on Nebula fit the "small web" criteria)

Now that I think of it, perhaps you can call Nebula "the Kagi of video streaming". Maybe you guys could collaborate somehow in the future ;D
