So i watch youtube a lot and i am now using invidious, i can subscribe to all my previous channels but what i am missing a lot is the recommendation algorithm, like it would show me different videos based on my interests etc and finding new content would be easy.

But this would also mean my data would be sold to companies.

Is there something similar for these youtube frontends which can recommend me stuff without sacrificing my privacy?

I know, but I’m not a big fan of using autofill, and it’s not worth it for this niche scenario. LibreTube is literally the only app I have that behaves like this.

I can see why it would be handy in a factory reset situation, but in such a case I could just toggle it on temporarily and then turn it off again.
