Comment on YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google

All that is left is letting people without a watch history default to seeing their subscriptions instead of a blank page. That’s the whole point of subscribing: I want my own curated experience. I don’t want to watch BS YouTube thinks I want to watch.
It was a mistake letting YouTube decide on behalf of everyone that recommendations was a better experience than letting the users decide for themselves what to watch. The recommendations are no less of an echo chamber. Worse, the recommendations are games with garbage content. It’s the same problem as google search.
We need a return to form of user-curated content. Down with algorithmic recommendations.

You can get extensions which make the homepage redirect to your subscriptions page. Lifesaver imo.

That pretty much describes how I use my Piped server in Feed mode. It only show my subs. Pretty sure the public Pipeds are the same if you make an account.

It actually works like this in the FreeTube app on PC or NewPipe on Android. It feels so much better having my own home page showing only videos who I’m subscribed to. Plus another added benefit is that you can put your subscriptions into categories, which is a great way of filtering down to the exact type of video’s you feel like watching at the time. FreeTube personally stopped my unhealthy video-watching habits almost instantly, which were basically psychologically trained into me by YouTube’s algorithm.
