Yeah, I use the regular Youtube client more frequently, because my senses aren't assaulted by a crapass load of thumbnails of dumb stuff.

Not really, I like what I like because I like it. I no longer binge mindlessly, I just binge mindfully. I'm using Freetube for many years now.
Wait, what is this new feature YouTube is doing?
As far as I know, it recommends videos on the top page based on your viewing history
I thought that was always a thing...
I don't use the recommended feature anyway, I have my subscriptions which I like, they are from good content creators, I don't feel the need to go browsing through the utter garbage that is most of YouTube.
If I want channel recommendations I'll wait until someone makes a list, traditionally that's been Reddit, but I guess it'll be on here now.
I'm almost completely off YouTube already and now I find videos annoying and a waste of time.
I watch videos from udemy to learn something though.
Yes, very much
