    I just use YouTube and only watch my subscribed channels. I don’t bother with recommendations

    You can subscribe to youtube channels with rss, that way you don’t have to log in a d you have a chronological list of uploads of channels you’ve chosen.

      Yeah, I thought of getting into grayjay instead, but the android app seems very unstable and slow for me, maybe I’ll try tweaking ReVanced for a similar result instead.

        You could just hide the home tab and default to the subscriptions. And I think you can also hide recomendations but Im not sure about that.

    Use the NewPipe app or one of its forks. It shows onlY videos from your subscriptions.

    There aren’t any because all ways of displaying any data at all involve an “algorithm”. There are no “algorithm-free alternatives” to anything at all except not using computers at all.

    Maybe think about what you’re actually trying to ask, then ask that question again.

      While you may be right, it’s irrelevant if you say it with such a tone. Additionally, it’s quite clear OP means predatory forms of algorithms.

        I suspect OP wanted to know about a video platform where they were not getting any automated recommendations that they hadn’t chosen to follow… my point is, chronological sorting is still an “algorithm”.
