Youtube has just one priority, it wants you to watch as much monetised content as possible. If you watch and engage with those types of videos, it'll suggest them to you.
I don't, and I never see them recommended either - here's my youtube homepage right now.
DIY, electronics, cooking, gaming, science, with some weeb stuff sprinkled in - exactly what I'd expect.I think the most interesting thing is that you don't see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.

I use new pipe if I heed. It's like a window into a crazy house. You can see what's going on, but you can't have a say.
I wish NewPipe or Freetube had their own comment community.

Safari + AdGuard used to work on my iPad, but it has recently been blocked with a disable Ad-block message.
Orion works for me when I disable all build-in content blocking and using the Firefox version of Ublock Origin.I think the build-in blocker is too basic and gets detected by YouTube, while ublock works (everywhere I've tested it, desktop, android, iPad)

People use the youtube app?
Lol haven't used the app for like at least 7 years? Maybe even 10 years. Haven't used the app as soon as I learned what an adblocker is, using uBlock Origin on Firefox.
I don't "subscribe" to anyone either, I just keep a list of everyone who I wanna watch and check everyone channel like once every 3 days. Takes like 3 minutes to go through the list of like around 20 channels. No accounts, all done over a no-log VPN to a privacy-friendly country.

When was this?
Asking as someone who’s been on the Internet since 1989.

IMHO, old internet started to slowly die with the introduction of MySpace, Digg, and even 4chan, I call the period of 2006 to 2010 the slow decline era, then 2010 to 2016 the rapid decline era. 2016 to 2022 is the "classic centralized internet era", and now we have the era of the "new centralized internet", characterized by the peddling of far-right ideologies of these centralized platforms, alongside with the potential rebirth of the old, decentralized internet.

Tubular/NewPipe and siblings allow subscribing wiþout an account. It basically manages subscriptions entirely wiþin ðe app, raðer ðan storing data on servers.
Ðe way applications should work.

I've noticed that with Facebook. Facebook will push conflict to my feed excessively hard, to the point that spending not even 30 seconds there will start making me angry. I refuse to use Facebook at all anymore.
Yeah, getting off facebook was probably the best thing for my mental health

You're not an internet veteran if you didn't get your start on ARPAnet

Tried newpipe when I migrated from reddit. It worked 50% of thw time. Any better now?
Much better! It's definitely much better than when I started using it. I remember it being so buggy at first.

No, she absolutely hates right-wing content and is definitely left. Asmongold is a grifter piece of shit human being who attracts alt-right viewers. It's not about her not being interested, she quite literally gets upset at the awful ideas and hate that those channels spread and doesn't want to see them. She never watches their videos on purpose, she's only ever clicked on them by accident, she always either clicks away immediately or dislikes the video, and never comments on them. She has repeatedly tried to block those channels. YT continues to show them.
Disliking the video is engagement, that's probably why they show up every so often. It's basically the algorithm saying "hey, can I suck you into an anger spiral today? No? Ok, I'll try again later."

Really? It feels like theres a lot less diversity of thought on the internet now. I used to be able to jump on stumbleupon and find a website about psilocybin, or someone's insane ramblings about the new world order. Now its all just crap. Used to be the world was too far away, used to be the stars didn't have much to say.
I think that's what they mean, but it's not a well written headline.

I downloaded my first image from internet in 92, just took a prolonged coffee break (a couple of kilobytes small b&w image).
You must have been in an American uni?

The trending page of YT is like the r/all of Reddit. If I want to see some stuff I couldn't care less about, that's where I'll find it. I have no idea who actually uses that, but I've never found anything of value there.
The crazy part, IMO, is that there is no way to filter that crap, at all. I'd love a good "front-page" but no.

is it just me or doesn't NewPipe no longer populate the recommended tab under yt videos?

It tends to break whenever YT updates something, which happens kinda often. PipePipe tends to work as an alternative, but mine never shows the videos' image preview for some reason
