The last several months, I’ve started watching YouTube.

I tried looking at what I’ve been watching:

  • lawn mowing
  • drain clearing
  • dog grooming

    If you value privacy, I recommend using freetube, an open source frontend to YouTube

    You can import your sub list, and your front page will be all their most recently uploaded videos in order

    I pretty commonly have the issue of missing uploads because of my work, and that basically fixes it

      Thanks. While I do, every solution I’ve tried is less convenient on iPhone. Generally I just don’t login and hope that does something

        Can’t expect to gain something (privacy) without losing something in return (convenience).

        Yeah, the iPhone microsystem is very restrictive. I’m not one to sing praises for samsung (they’re just as bad in many ways), but I can still install apks for custom apps like tubetube, another safer YouTube frontend

        I can’t verify anything, but there seem to be some (albeit limited) alternatives like vuetube and yattee still floating around for ios
