I'm back to subbing to my favorite creators because the algorithm has been so fucking random for the past weeks. Nothing even makes sense.

I don't know if that was their intention or not, but the YT homepage is now worthless to me

Yeah, I've been doing this for a couple years, since recommendations became useless. At least 50% of recommendations are things I've already seen (and I do have history turned on). I also use SmartTubeNext, which let's me filter out shorts.

SmartTube is so much better than the official app. Same for Revanced
