It’s a good option for those wanting to use YouTube. In my case, I just avoid it where I can. I’m not going to fight against a content creator. If he wants to make videos for algorithm garbage it’s because he doesn’t respect audience like me. He doesn’t have to make what I like, I don’t have to watch it. It’s just annoying that from time to time I fall prey to a video trough Lemmy.

I use newpipe by the way. YouTube itself is blocked on my browser. But I use it too rarely to bother with more blockers.
