    I recently switched over to using LibreTube which cut me off from personalized algorithmic recommendations.

    It was a little bit like switching off Reddit to Lemmy - less digital sugar pills, but after a while, I don’t even really miss it.

    I do have to actively seek out new creators if I want to watch something new, but in all honesty my current subscriber list keeps me more than busy.

    On balance a net positive, would recommend

      Seconded. All my homies love LibreTube.

      (At least I think they would, if I weren’t the only person I know who uses it. But hey, now there’s you! There are dozens two of us!)

      I’ve been using ReVanced for awhile now, but LibreTube sounds pretty good to get off the algorithms wild ride

        I love libretube, but I really need it to support queing videos. As it stands you have to pick each video you want to watch/listen to. Unless there is a hack I am unaware of Playlists don’t really exist.

        Please prove me wrong, if you know better than I do.

          I can’t que, but I can make playlists in libre (android). There’s a “save” option under the video that lets me create playlists and save videos to them. We might just be using different app versions if you can’t.

        It’s not a perfect experience to be sure, since it doesn’t have the backing of a trillion dollar company with tens of thousands of engineers. It mostly gets the job done with a bit of know-how for me, though.

          I think I’m just on a poor server. I should probably configure it more as well.

      What are some fun channels you’d recommend on there?
