I recently switched over to using LibreTube which cut me off from personalized algorithmic recommendations.

It was a little bit like switching off Reddit to Lemmy - less digital sugar pills, but after a while, I don't even really miss it.

I do have to actively seek out new creators if I want to watch something new, but in all honesty my current subscriber list keeps me more than busy.

On balance a net positive, would recommend

Seconded. All my homies love LibreTube.

(At least I think they would, if I weren't the only person I know who uses it. But hey, now there's you! There are ~~dozens~~ two of us!)

I've been using ReVanced for awhile now, but LibreTube sounds pretty good to get off the algorithms wild ride

I love libretube, but I really need it to support queing videos. As it stands you have to pick each video you want to watch/listen to. Unless there is a hack I am unaware of Playlists don't really exist.

Please prove me wrong, if you know better than I do.

I can't que, but I can make playlists in libre (android). There's a "save" option under the video that lets me create playlists and save videos to them. We might just be using different app versions if you can't.

Libretube glitches a lot for me :(

It's not a perfect experience to be sure, since it doesn't have the backing of a trillion dollar company with tens of thousands of engineers. It mostly gets the job done with a bit of know-how for me, though.

I think I'm just on a poor server. I should probably configure it more as well.

What are some fun channels you'd recommend on there?
