I really like the idea, and the price seems very low for the offer, so I'm inclined to try it out.

But, the "browse" page does not immediately show anything I'd really like to watch now.

This might be a problem caused by not seeing enough of a blurb to go with the title images, even when hovering, i.e. this http://imgur.com/X76fN1C

We're working on ways to try to tailor and customize the browse page a bit more. If you're a member once you start watching some videos a recommended for you slide will be added to the home page based on your history. And thanks for the feedback on the popover. Just curious what information is most important to you as a user when picking a video? Just the description?

The only other thing I can think of is "name recognition".

E.g. I love Hans Rosling (or James Burke, Carl Sagan, Niall Ferguson or whoever) so if I see that something is based/stars/includes their work I'd likely be interested.

This is obviously not applicable to many things though, and can be somewhat included in a description anyway.

And thanks to you for taking time to read my comments :)

That's great to know, we love the feedback. And Don't Panic with Hans is one of my favorite personally (https://app.curiositystream.com/video/999)
