On: I created an alternative to the YouTube algorithm to stop me wasting time

[aeternum]

Youtube has some quality content that is not available elsewhere. For example it would be illogical to shred your library card just because you don't like the books that the librarian shows you.

I'm not suggesting nullrouting the site (if you don't need to), I'm suggesting deactivating your account so you're never shown the all-too-enticing personalized recommendations.

You can always watch specific videos without being logged in.

this is what I do, too.

but lately, with ublock origin ON, I cannot see it anymore
