You're welcome! Thanks for considering changes based on my suggestions.

I think 5 videos per channel is an appropriate limit. I understand what you want to achieve with this. But suppose I want to watch an older video from the same channel. A simple 'Expand' button would do the trick. Otherwise I'd have to go to YouTube which I wanted to avoid in the first place.

And I think you don't have to stick to a certain number of videos as the only type of limit. How about showing as many videos as would fit within the width of the window?

In previous versions, I had a direct YouTube channel link in the feed. So if user wants to see more than 5 videos of that channel then clicking on the link would take them directly to YouTube channel where they can find all the videos. But I got many users feedback that "making easy access to YouTube would be counter-intuitive and if they want to find a particular video obviously they know the search keywords and they can search for it in search tab." So scrolling videos or YouTube direct link was removed.

The Expand idea is interesting though, will think about it. Thank you.
