    As much as the algorithm can be annoying and awful. Something the scope of YouTube with out an algorithm at all is fucking stupid.

    It is literally humanly impossible to sift though YouTube with out some form of algorithmic assistance.

      If i need something, I either click on a YouTube link or I use the search bar. Relying on their shitty algorithm turns it into television, which I really don’t want.

      Newpipe has an algorithm and an incredible search function. It breaks every now and then, but it’s great otherwise. It says it’s going away after google crashes sideloading though.
