I know there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding YouTube’s recommendation algorithms, but I can’t seem to find a better alternative. What are the ways y’all find videos that are of interest?

I know we could use RSS and subscribe to our desired channels and get a better experience than YT’s own subscription system, but what about channel/video discovery, those that you’ve never seen before? Is there a better way to find a video that might be interesting to you without kneeling before the almighty algorithm? Half of the recommended page on YT seems irrelevant to me, but I can’t seem to find a better alternative.

    you could just search for topics that interest you and decide what to watch. if you want content spoonfed to you, it’s a bit silly to get picky about who holds the spoon.
