blocktube VS FreshRSS

You just go into the plugin settings and remove it from the list, and then possibly restart the browser. I've never had it to where I can't unblock a video or channel. If you continue to have the issue, report it on the github.

But I don't like their work. I use the BlockTube extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blocktube/bbeaicapbccfllodepmimpkgecanonai?hl=en-US or github: https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube

Yup! BlockTube is an open source addon that does that! https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube

Blocktube - Basically adds block function to youtube. Comments, channels, specific videos, video titles. Can block trending section etc.

Blocktube. They won't hide it themselves so you have to help them do what they're told.

Blocktube. There are so many kinds of trash and spam on youtube that I never want to see. The platform doesn't have a native option to hide its own algospew so this helps them do it. Can also remove shorts entirely

Maybe you could consider adding that functionality to Blocktube? It already works based on keywords, or channels, etc.

Do you use mobile or pc btw? I use pc and run this extension called Blocktube. It's for both Firefox and Chrome and it's pretty great imo. It can block channels and videos directly but also from keywords you specify. It can also block comments and shorts if those aren't your jam

Why not provide a URL for your recommendation?

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.

Looks great, and I like the simple, no-frills/IAPs model of this.

Any chance you could integrate with RSS aggregators, like FreshRSS, miniflux, ttrss or any of the other self-hosted aggregators? I use FreshRSS and I like having my feeds synced no matter what device I view it on. The Android clients for FreshRSS[0] are a little lacking IMO or a bit out of date so it'd be great to see something new.

I second using FreshRSS. It meets most of your demands, plus the server and clients are all FOSS.

Was thinking about looking into Cloudflare tunnels but from this and this issue, it seems like there is an issue with Cloudflare and FreshRSS.

I would recommend Tiny Tiny RSS or FreshRSS as examples but you can use anything you want, there's plenty of them. Why would you want to pay for something like this?

I use FreshRSS. It's great.

FreshRSS -> RSS feed reader

Solution = use tool to find out YouTube channel IDs and copy/past them into your RSS feed.
