I really recommend having a youtube feed that is just subscriptions. No recommended section. It’s quite nice

That’s how I’ve used yt for like, 15 years? Nothing on the homepage is relevant, if I want to see new ‘creators’ I find them organically from the ones I already watch, or recommendations by friends. I actually forgot that the homepage isn’t the subscription feed a couple years ago and was like ‘the fuck is all this shit’ (I don’t use the website that often, got logged out).

Their fucking algorithm does a good job wasting hours of my day.

Yep. I just wish there was an option to block most of the videos from specific channels. I’ve had to unsubscribe to some because they kept constantly pushing updates and new videos to the point where it was kinda hard to see other videos (france24 if anyone is interested).

I recommend not having a feed and instead using a self hosted RSS service like FreshRSS to subscribe to channels you care about
Then you can use filters to drop out the boring bits like shorts from the feed easily.
