I use a 3rd party app Freetube. Don’t need a google account and you can set multiple subscription profiles for different types of content. I only find new channels from suggestions for each video but stick to subscription as home page. But as with any 3rd party front end, YouTube is in constant battle with them, especially with vpn which can break things once in a while but it is a price you have to pay for a bit of privacy.
Not just privacy, also usability. I can’t watch 5 minutes on YouTube without ads and the algorithm is aparantly more important than your own preferences, according to Google.
Oh definitely but my comparison was with Firefox using ublock origin so didn’t mention the ads. YouTube with ads is literally unusable for me and I don’t wanna pay money to google either. I haven’t seen YouTube recommendation page in so long so can’t remember how bad it is lol.
