Show HN: I Built a Site That Curates Weird YouTube Rabbit Holes Daily

I built Yourabbit.com — a site that curates hand-picked YouTube rabbit holes grouped by themes like quirky psychology, obscure tech, weird facts, and binge-worthy oddities.
It’s not driven by the YouTube algorithm — every collection is themed and curated manually (for now), with a backend I’m automating to fetch and organize new rabbit holes daily.
Built as a hybrid Astro + Next.js project, optimized for static generation and speed.
I’m also pairing videos with custom summaries and commentary (using AI), and would love feedback from the HN crowd on:
Content model (too wide? not specific enough?)
Scaling ideas or features worth adding
Whether it's fun enough to keep people coming back
Open to any critique or ideas. Thanks!

Right now, I'm still tuning the backend and experimenting with different types of videos. I definitely want to strike a better balance between fun/short-form content and deeper, high-quality creators like Scott Manley.
Would love to know what you look for in a great rabbit hole — I'm collecting that feedback to improve the next batch.
