[Question] YouTube frontend with algorithm? (lemmy.ml)

I’ve been using invidious for a few years. I recently changed up my morning routine and have been eating breakfast watching YouTube via the TV app versus on my PC.

It made me realize I kind of miss the recommended videos in some circumstances like when I just wanna veg out.

Are there any current viable yt front ends that either maintain the algorithm or utilize their own to find you new content?

Any reason you recommend the beta instead of the stable version?

Tbh, I don't know anymore. Back when I first installed it there was a feature that was only in the beta but I don't know anymore

I personally recommend the stable version. It has integrated Adblock and sponsorblock. The dev is very responsive when issues arise like YouTube breaking stuff.
