I am so tired of being part of the YT algo. Is there a somewhat decent alternative to youtube? I already have Nebula but that doesn’t give me my news and show talking head fix

Its impossible for me to subscribe to a youtuber because I don’t have (and don’t want) a Youtube account. I understand Youtubers get more visibility with more subscriptions, but I just don’t want to be part of the algorithm. I can close my private browser, and any algorithm infection is wiped clean from my view.
Depending on your setup, YouTube will still fingerprint your browser and track your behavior, as is common practice with ad networks.
Your cookies and data might be cleared but as long as yt has any way to generate a unique identifier out of your browser preferences, it will identify you and start looking at your behavior / figuring out an algorithm.
Just fyi.
Every channel has an RSS feed. I use that instead.
RSS
piped.30p87.de
And all other piped/invidious instances. You can sub locally, and everything is stored as a cookie in your browser (afaik).
You can download newpipe and subscribe there. It makes a local subscription, no account needed. Also no ads.
