How do you find new videos to watch?

I have two modes of watching YouTube:

1. When I want to learn about something. Then I use a search engine to find the video, and your setup would be fine

2. When I want to relax and watch generally interesting informative videos. Or sometimes comedy or animation.

I subscribe to a range of channels and use the YT recommendations for the second mode (which sucks but is barely usable).

How do people watching YT with no account handle this second mode of watching?

A lot of these alternatives allow you to keep track of subscriptions without a Google account and actually show a chronological feed (which IMO is one of the most annoying things about the official YouTube app). For mindless watching TikTok is my default.
