What are some good algorithm free alternatives to YouTube?

[goofus@lemmy.today]

How do you do that?

[breadoven@lemmy.world]

With New pipe I only see the channels I subscribe to. There's no home page, I just go to the list of channels and check if they have any new content.

I don't see how an algorithm comes into play when I'm manually subscribing and going through the list.

This. It's gone down for a few days here or there. But then updates and it's all good. You can even watch shorts from the creators, although it's like watching a short video (can't scroll through them in succession as far as I know).

YouTube patched via ReVanced, then browse without login.

On desktop, YouTube with uBlock, then browse without login.

Seconded. You subscribe to channels you like, and your feed is just the newest videos first. Plus built in sponser block.

I feel like we need to get away from Gulag's servers in general tho. They're closing in on the likes of Freetube.

Browsing without login still gives you an algorithm, but one for the lowest common denominator. I'd suggest using the subscription feed

I would not recommend using YouTube without login, if you plan on looking at the home page

Yewtube and/or ytdlp. I have a script which downloads any new videos from channels I typically watch. I use ytdlp to download music too

I see this mentioned every time - am I the only one only seeing 1 active creator (transport evolved) on there?
