ive started to use freetube on desktop and newpipe on mobile. they are not great for discovery at all but at least I can watch the odd [insert-channel-i-dont-really-like-here] video every once in a blue moon without then being harassed for weeks/months/years after to watch more from the same channel
I've always opened youtube in a new private window to do that, especially for sports that I'm interested in but I don't want to get spoilers for later.
I think it works because I don't see those topics in my feeds.
