Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

Yeah people have mixed opinions about that, but atleast in my case YouTube's recommendations does a really good job at finding content I'm interested in. It just needs some training for it to do a good job. When there's something I'm not interested in, I just flag it as "not interested" and then that stuff dissapears and is replaced with something else.

Oh yeah it works great, I just don't like how the algo feels like it's trying to trick me into watching as long as possible. I enjoy the things I subscribe to but I don't need YouTube to take up any more of my time.

Interesting- It's really bad for me!

It always keeps suggestion the same few things, and things from the channels I'm already subscribed to. Videos I've already watched often get in there, and it's very rare I get suggestions for relevant creators.
