Thankfully there are better frontends for many social media sites. For YouTube, you can use Piped and Invidious. LibRedirect is a browser addon that automatically redirects all YouTube links to your selected frontend. If you want a native desktop app, check out FreeTube. On Android you can use LibreTube, NewPipe or a fork of it called Tubular. On iOS, you can configure Yattee to work with Piped and Invidious, this guide explains it: gonzoknows.com/posts/yattee/.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about SmartTube. I left out ReVanced on purpose, because it still uses the proprietary YouTube app. But if you’re ok with this, there’s also uYouPlus for iOS.

ReVanced used the proprietary app, but it patches out a bunch of stuff. I like it because it still works like the regular app.

I’ve not encountered Privacy Guides before, but that’s a really lovely website!

Doesn’t piped completely remove the tracking and what not? Which… I know it sounds bad but I want that. YouTube’s algorithm honestly gives me some really cool shit based on what I’ve watched

Without tracking, it recommends stuff based on the current video. No idea how different the results might be if you have whole history for them to evaluate

That’s… Something. It would still give me cool stuff I guess. I might start looking into this

I think randomness seems to work better than their algorithm. Youtube didn’t recommend Cayley Odle because of anything I’d watched before, but … damn.
