I know there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding YouTube’s recommendation algorithms, but I can’t seem to find a better alternative. What are the ways y’all find videos that are of interest?
I know we could use RSS and subscribe to our desired channels and get a better experience than YT’s own subscription system, but what about channel/video discovery, those that you’ve never seen before? Is there a better way to find a video that might be interesting to you without kneeling before the almighty algorithm? Half of the recommended page on YT seems irrelevant to me, but I can’t seem to find a better alternative.
The old fashioned way was you asked people. Post a video of one of your favorites in a videos community and ask what people who like it what channels they also recommend.
