      I wonder what percentage of views are done with a general purpose web browser vs. YouTube apps on phones and TVs. Otherwise, yeah, if you have a web browser it is an option. And since this thread is about browser extensions, I too am wondering what they meant.

      You see how often growing youtubers complain about more than 85% of their viewers are not subscribed to the channel, or how just some videos have more views than their main content? The issue is that Invidious doesn’t have the algorithm Youtube provides to everyone, and that not a lot of people really watch their subscribed page.

        I actually don’t watch a whole lot of YouTube anymore so I can’t really comment on this here.

        The issue is that Invidious doesn’t have the algorithm Youtube provides to everyone,

        But isn’t this what people are trying to avoid when it comes to digital privacy? User data being used in less algorithms?

        Why would you have an account in that hellhole?
