Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

Sadly it's for the large part the recommendation algorithm that I'm on YouTube for. Most of the videos I watch are from people I'm not subscribed to.

I've always wondered if people like you existed! Fascinating.

Not criticizing you, just personally I don't want any recommendation algos in any of my media.

I couldn't live without my Spotify recommendations. Being able to listen to new stuff everyday is so important to me.

I get it. My Spotify algorithm was exceptionally good at sending me stuff that was basically just "diet everything else in my library". Hardly anything ever new or challenging. Most of my new interesting music comes to me these days from friends and the radio, and song IDing anything that catches my ear while out and about.

I suppose I do like Spotify auto-playlists for when I need consistent background Muzak or a "chill beats to study to" vibe. But the algo is just too "good" if that makes sense.
