So i watch youtube a lot and i am now using invidious, i can subscribe to all my previous channels but what i am missing a lot is the recommendation algorithm, like it would show me different videos based on my interests etc and finding new content would be easy.

But this would also mean my data would be sold to companies.

Is there something similar for these youtube frontends which can recommend me stuff without sacrificing my privacy?

    The only things I have found use the YouTube’s engine to recommend. But if their privacy focused and logged out. It’s only going to recommend either the generic trash that are logged out user would see, or per video recommendations you know related videos.

    If there’s any project that can take your channel list and then recommend new channels based on that in a privacy friendly fashion I would love to know about it.
