Just plain old YouTube, I do have to delete all my watch history now and then so it doesn't start recommending low quality videos.
Oh and ublock and sponsorblock are a must these days.
Did you know that you can set YouTube to auto delete watch history after 3, 18 or 36 months? Here: https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols?settings=youtube
Also @lixus98 (not sure how we mention each other here) I get around the YouTube algorithm feeding me junk by never using the app, I just view in browser (Kiwi on mobile) with uBlock & SponsorBlock plugins & another for background playback. For subscriptions & any vids I want to watch later I add links to a note taking app which syncs to all my devices.
A little more effort than using the app but for me worth it not to be continually bombarded with recommendations for something I accidentally clicked months ago!

I use the revanced youtube app on mobile, that helps with the ads. However if that doesn't work for some reason, i just use the Firefox for Android with ublock.
Newpipe is my go to Youtube app. it also works with soundcloud and band camp.
