Hey all, been looking to curb you YouTube addiction. One easy step would be to get an alternative frontend which does not display shorts, and maybe even does not show suggested videos.
I’ve been looking at alternatives, but most seem to want you to import subscriptions from YouTube, and I assume that if you subscribe to a new channel from there, it will not show up on your YouTube account. Which is a functionality I would really like, as I also watch on desktop.
So does something like it exist? Or should I just install ReVanced? I’ve been kind of hesitant because installing from .APK is just so much easier…
There’s not really a greta alternative that just allows you to sign in I believe. NewPipe indeed requires import, which can be a hassle. I recommend trying the ReVanced route for yourself once, because it allows you to select whichever patches you want (removing the Shorts is one of the options).
Best of luck!
