Well, on Twitch and YouTube and Reddit, I'm settled.
On Twitch, I never visit front-page. I follow the channels I follow.
On YouTube, I watch the subscribed channels (and recommend videos. If good, I follow).
Reddit, I don't visit All or Popular. I have the subreddits I wanna follow.
On Lemmy, it's so new that I haven't found all the places, so I go to All on Local and see what's up - like I do now.
Yeah, I do a similar thing with youtube and reddit. I am interested in communities of humans I like curating content and conversations. I am less interested in a robot doing so, even if it wasn’t a crap advertisement and engagement robot.
I am interested in the humans and I find it infuriating how often these websites try to shove what the robots want me to engage with down my throat while hiding access to the humans/communities I am interested in so I always have to click through to see it.
Yeah for that reason I just have my YouTube subscription download and go to my plex server so I don't have to deal with ads or algorithms and we have a discord channel where we share interesting videos so I find a lot of my content that way. For reddit I just stopped going there after the exodus except when doing searches and I can't find what I'm looking for I'll add reddit to the search query to see the comments and hope there's an answer there
