I use newpipe, freetube instead of youtube.
It has everything but the discoverability that youtube provided.
I would atleast like a way to find new channels based on the channels I subscribe, if not new videos based on watched videos.
Need suggestions.
You can DIY your own tool to scrape youtube.com for recommendations.
But won’t I need an account, and even without login, watch activity on youtube for it to churn out similar recommendations. First priority is not to use youtube, recommendations are a good to have.
