Not having a home page where I get new content based on what I watch is a pretty strong point, the mayority of people find new channels based on that

This is where I differ. I think the algos and video recommendations are manipulative. I simply watch whatever is new from my subscribed channels and occasionally something from the related video section. Even if cared about recommendations there is no way I would value it more than the other benefits.

All that being said check out Libretube. I think it has the recommendations on the homepage.

Perhaps, but there are often related videos which provide a similar sort of discovery. One of the main points of these frontends is that they don't track what you watch. If they don't do that, they can't recommend videos.

Dunno, I prefer Lemmy comms for that
