Strictly from a viewer's perspective, I use a YouTube client alternative (like GrayJay, Freetube, NewPipe) and subscribe only to the channels I want to see content from. Then I can look at video suggestions for given videos to see relevant content. This entirely removes me from the algorithm as well as any personalization that would put me in an echo chamber. I also branch out to reliable and unbiased news sources, better search engine alternatives, and so on.

Ah, that makes sense then.

Well they have to send the tickets somewhere, don't they?

I've been using their GrayJay desktop app, and I've enjoyed it so far.

I haven't checked out FreeTube but maybe this is the push I need.

I've had a good experience with GrayJay. It's a bit young and missing features but it's never broken for me.
