This sounds terrible. I don't want to see the same content as everyone else. A good chunk of Youtube right now is rightwing content that I don't have to see.

You won’t. You will still see the videos from the channels you subscribed to.

It’s just that everybody subscribing to that particular channel most get the same information from it; the same videos, the same comments, the same likes/dislikes

I'm going to blow your mind, but at one point you weren't subscribed to the channel. You found that channel likely through the algo.
