Do I hate giving money to Google? Yes. Do I watch 6+ hours of Youtube a day? Also yes. I almost always have something playing in the background throughout my day, so it's the one service I'm ok paying for and I don't have to worry about it breaking like I would with other frontends.
Honestly, is this true? How do you keep on top of content you actually wanna watch? I'm not sure since when but youtube recommendations have gone so downhill and a lot of the content creators I used to like don't release as much as they used to so even when I wanna browse YouTube there isn't anything I wanna see.
Over time I've curated the list of creators I watch, so my recommendations are pretty good at feeding me what I like, though I do usually have to scroll through a lot of junk. And when the recommendations aren't doing it, I'll just manually go to a channel I like and find something and the algorithm will quickly adjust.
