Some alternative frontends resolve this. Invidious for example is a youtube front end. There are public instances. Most popular sites have them.

Yes! I've started using Invidious more and more when I'm on PC, but there are also addons that make YouTube itself more tolerable.

I've been using LibreTube on my Android phone, and it's so much better.

Yeah.

Invidious is pretty good in android Firefox like when you "add to homescreen". The other browser add-ons won't avoid the algorithm I think?

I use newpipe. I found libretube seemed to stop working more than newpipe but maybe time for another look!

I was actually using newpipe + sponsorblock before switching to Libretube. There's only been once that I've had to manually switch the piped instance so far, but I just prefer Libretube's UI. Newpipe worked great, too. Both very good apps. You can't go wrong with either imo
