Piped is the only way to prevent youtube's spying from fucking up my algorithm even though I went out of the way to open it in incognito

I have history and recs turned off in youtube, it's great. The front page is blank with a search bar.

I still need it for finding stuff that isn't oops all sports and celebrity bullshit. I've spent years telling it what i'm not into, even though it still suggests most of it.
