In my journey to #degoogle myself, today after many years, I have deactivated my YouTube premium account. Was a challenge to setup LibreTube for the wife and kids and to bring over all their subscriptions, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. My biggest challenge right now is to find a solution with #tutanota to sync my Android contacts and calender so I can close down my Gmail account. @degoogle

@fomo_erotic I generally look at the suggested content below the video I am watching and it generally works in exposing me to new content. I use LibreTube but I am not sure if the same is available for other FOSS apps.

Yeah I guess that might work. it's just the effort part and the self selection issue.

I've got some scripts I put together for doing network analysis of yiutube. I'll have to look into some of these programs and see if I could extend them into a personalized content recommendation system. Someday when I finish all my other projects (๐Ÿ˜‚)
