Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

There is also an extension called unhook that hides YouTube's terrible UI components like the front page, the recommended feed. Sadly the extension is not open source. I wonder if there is a foss extension like that.

My recommendation in general is to not use YouTube's algorithm's at all. If you YouTube, it's impossible to not feed it as you watch videos, but don't let it recommend videos to you. Thankfully because of all sorts of social media it is easy to find videos without having to rely on YouTube's algorithm. Doing this will not only help you avoid shit videos but also dissuade you from mindless binge watching which I find destroys my last few remaining brain cells.

On phone I only ever use NewPipe/Tubular to watch YouTube videos.
