Feeds created by people, not algorithms.

MindBrief is

HUMAN-CURATED

Your daily antidote to the algorithm.

“This feed is not neutral. MindBrief is an attempt to put humans back between you and the firehose.” Doug, Certified Human

My Mission

To curate media feeds for the people.

  • Handmade over Machine Made.
  • Organized by topic, not outrage.
  • Tracking stories across time.
  • Transparent Bias over Propaganda.
  • Highlighting Great Journalists and Creators.

What I Make

MindBrief is made of video feeds that track signal across channels.

  • Curated video playlists.
  • Daily News Trackers.
  • Personalized Networks.
  • Brief Decks.
  • Archival Briefs.
  • Original Content.
  • Raw Feeds.

What I Avoid

I am not trying to build another infinite scroll machine. The point is not to trap people or their data. The point is to make your time online feel more intentional.

  • No rage bait.
  • No fake urgency.
  • No Memory Holes.
  • No endless-feeds.
  • No walled gardens.
The bigger idea

A media brand for people who still want to choose what they consume.

MindBrief starts with YouTube playlists because playlists are useful, simple and familiar. But the long-term idea is an editorial layer over public media: a way to gather the best available videos and context around a subject.

Some feeds are newsy. Some are cultural. Some are educational. Some are strange. The common thread is that they are selected, sequenced and framed by human taste.

In a world where platforms optimize for reaction, MindBrief is trying to optimize for orientation.

Working principles

  • Human judgment beats recommendation engines.
  • Sources should be easy to find across platforms.
  • Viewers deserve context, not clickbait.
  • A playlist can be an editorial act.
  • The internet needs to be better organized.
