Ask HN: Why not have 24/7 live YouTube channels for rare phenomena?
Imagine a YouTube channel that streams rare, amazing phenomena live, 24/7, sourced from contributors around the world—but only when the event is happening.

You could have:

Specialty channels focused on one phenomenon, like lightning storms, auroras, or meteor showers. Variety channels that rotate among different rare events, from wildlife migrations to unusual cloud formations.

How it could work:

* Contributors provide live video only when something rare occurs.

* AI automatically selects safe, relevant feeds to show and keeps each channel on-topic.

* Viewers would vote on the contributed feeds that are highlighted by the AI possibly influencing its behavior in the future.

* Contributors would earn revenue when their feeds are featured.

It would be a global, interactive window to rare and fascinating events, combining science, education, and community engagement—all in real time.
