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…
Personally i try to steer clear of Google services so I dont sign in to YouTube. I keep a list of channels along with any interesting looking videos in a note taking app which syncs to various devices via Nextcloud.
Its a small extra step but ive become used to it so its second nature & it works for me.
