About
You have answers to give. You shouldn't have to scrub through hours of video to find them.
If you've ever been in front of someone with a real question — about abortion, personhood, the rape exception, the role of the church — you know the moment passes quickly. The right clip exists somewhere on YouTube. By the time you find it, the conversation is over.
If you make videos for a living, the same problem at a different scale: you need every time someone said "clump of cells" across hundreds of hours of source material, and you need it now, not next week.
What AYC does
We watch the videos so you don't have to. AYC is a searchable index of every question and every objection raised across abolitionist YouTube channels — paired with the exact moment in the source video where it was answered. Search a phrase. Skim the responses. Watch the clip. Use it.
How it works
- Submit a channel — we transcribe every video and break it into questions, objections, and the rebuttals that follow.
- Search the index — by topic, by channel, by the phrase you remember someone using.
- Click a clip — the YouTube player opens at the exact moment, on the exact answer.
Who it's for
People who treasure their time. Sidewalk counselors and street agitators who need an answer right now. Editors compiling montages from a corpus too large to memorize. Researchers tracking how arguments evolve. Anyone who's ever lost a moment to "I know there's a clip about this somewhere…"
Who made it
AYC was built by Scott Pierce and is sponsored by Left Join Studio, Inc. We aim to do good. Our goal is to put what's already public to better use, and to let the people doing the work spend less of their time searching and more of it actually engaging.
