MODERATORS
For YouTube, I've switched to Grayjay and I just subscribe to creators I like. I ignore the home feed.
This has removed AI slop, ads, and shorts, which is awesome, but I the tradeoff is jot having a useful recommendation feed. Its not as good as YouTube of old, but worlds better than YouTube of the last few years.
