i've grown increasingly, increasingly tired of youtube lately. the exhausting shorts advertised everywhere, overwhelming thumbnails, sensory overload and just generally a really piss poor site. Is there anywhere someone like me can turn to?

So this isn’t exactly what you asked for but DuckDuckGo now has its own browser that has baked in it a YouTube player with no bullshit no ads no surrounding videos no “playing next” nonsense, etc. I’ve only used it like once I think so far (I don’t spent much time on YouTube) but I would already recommend it. And it’s available for Mac and PC, not positive about Linux yet.

If you search “DuckDuckGo browser download” it should be right there.
