        YouTube is still amazing, you just have to ignore the algorithm, which is easy enough through subscriptions

          I was trying to find background music the other day while I did chores. Unless you know a specifc channel, there’s a good chance your search takes you to Aimusic instead of music.


          I’ve been known for having strong opinions from time to time

        I turned YouTube history off and just watch videos through “my subscriptions”

        For me it’s a game changer

          I basically did the same thing but have a YouTube downloader that puts them on my Plex server. So I can watch a show then like a YouTube video and call it a night

            I wanted to set that up to for a while. But I don’t have a home server, just a seedbox and it’s limited in what I can do. What software are you using?

              I’m using pinchflat on it. The trickiest part was just the naming scheme in pinchflat for the videos and the library configuration on plex so it shows them correctly.

              Also I got blocked by YouTube a few times because I would pause it for a while then start it up and it would download way too many so they would block me for like a month
