It just runs as a proxy front end and fetches the videos as you use them. You have to set up your channel subscriptions and then if you go to your Feed, it just shows the channels, and nothing else. No algorithm spamming up your feed. No ads, uses Sponsorblock
It’s the way Youtube should have been. There’s a bunch of public ones, https://piped.video is the one run by it’s creator. Make an account and play around before you decide if you want to run your own instance.
I feel like I must be one in a million, because I actually think the algorithm is being pretty good to me. It’s giving me so many interesting new suggestions and my Watch List keeps building up to where I will never have time to catch up and I just keep adding more and more.
I guess I’ve just been very disciplined in watching videos that are interesting to me, and not allowing anyone to watch their shit on my account. If they do, I remove that history.
How does Piped work? It just downloads all of YouTube (lol), or you tell it to archive certain channels/subscriptions kinda like Sonarr and them?
