I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

The recommendation algorithm is the reason I use YouTube. Well over half of the videos I'm watching are from channels I'm not even subscribed to. Ads can be blocked as always.

The recommendation algorithm is the reason I use YouTube.

This is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy (since it means Google has to track you) but I agree. I've discovered so many great channels, both small and large, through YouTube recommendations.
