    That defeats the entire purpose of YouTube and other algorithm-based content discovery and publishing services.

      Personally, I watch the channels from the creators I like and slowly grow my channels through their recommendations. My bookmark goes straight to the subscription page and have uBlock filters for all the unwanted recommendations.

      I couldn’t stand having an algorithm decide what I watch.

      Not really? I’ve never gone to Youtube for the content it tries to shove on me on the homepage. I always went straight to the subscription page… And now on my invidious instance, that’s the primary loaded page. I still only go to “trending” and “for you” once in a blue moon.

      Youtube’s only value to you is its algorithm? Man if all you do is consume what is force-fed to you… You do you, I guess. 😬

        Content discovery is indeed YouTubes only value, otherwise you’d just watch content on a better platform dedicated to the creator you wanted to watch like their patreon
