      I see this mentioned every time - am I the only one only seeing 1 active creator (transport evolved) on there?

    YouTube patched via ReVanced, then browse without login.

    On desktop, YouTube with uBlock, then browse without login.

      I would not recommend using YouTube without login, if you plan on looking at the home page

      Browsing without login still gives you an algorithm, but one for the lowest common denominator. I’d suggest using the subscription feed

    You can subscribe to youtube channels with rss, that way you don’t have to log in a d you have a chronological list of uploads of channels you’ve chosen.

      Yeah, I thought of getting into grayjay instead, but the android app seems very unstable and slow for me, maybe I’ll try tweaking ReVanced for a similar result instead.

    I just use YouTube and only watch my subscribed channels. I don’t bother with recommendations

    Yewtube and/or ytdlp. I have a script which downloads any new videos from channels I typically watch. I use ytdlp to download music too

    Use the NewPipe app or one of its forks. It shows only videos from your subscriptions.

    Grayjay on Android. Ad-free, no algo, and no shorts. There’s a section that shows you like the top 10 hottest videos on the platform, but in the subscriptions tab it has all the latest from who you are subbed to.

    Freetube if you want to watch YouTube without algorithms.

      I feel like we need to get away from Gulag’s servers in general tho. They’re closing in on the likes of Freetube.

    There aren’t any because all ways of displaying any data at all involve an “algorithm”. There are no “algorithm-free alternatives” to anything at all except not using computers at all.

    Maybe think about what you’re actually trying to ask, then ask that question again.

      While you may be right, it’s irrelevant if you say it with such a tone. Additionally, it’s quite clear OP means predatory forms of algorithms.

      Just say you didn’t understand what the guy asked. It’s fine.

        I suspect OP wanted to know about a video platform where they were not getting any automated recommendations that they hadn’t chosen to follow… my point is, chronological sorting is still an “algorithm”.
