Why aren't you using an rss feed reader to "subscribe" to all the channels you like and filtering through that? I have all my stuff subscribed in commafeed (https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/ but freshrss is also quite good https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS) I only ever go to youtube main page if I have time to spare and want to see something new, it's wonderful. If you combine this with some ad blocks and sponsorblock it makes youtube splendid again.

Thanks!

Its' really the way to go in my opinion. I have my feeds grouped by interest so if I'm in the mood for something specific I click on the specific feed and see what's new, but if I'm interested in something carpentry, or rving, or hiking, or networking/selfhosting I just click on the directory I have those feeds in and see them all most recent first. It also makes it dead simple to switch a youtube feed out for rumble/bitchute/peertub/lbry/etc. if the creator you are following starts publishing elsewhere.
