This. It's gone down for a few days here or there. But then updates and it's all good. You can even watch shorts from the creators, although it's like watching a short video (can't scroll through them in succession as far as I know).
You can subscribe to youtube channels with rss, that way you don't have to log in a d you have a chronological list of uploads of channels you've chosen.
Yeah, I thought of getting into grayjay instead, but the android app seems very unstable and slow for me, maybe I'll try tweaking ReVanced for a similar result instead.
Grayjay on Android. Ad-free, no algo, and no shorts. There's a section that shows you like the top 10 hottest videos on the platform, but in the subscriptions tab it has all the latest from who you are subbed to.
There aren't any because all ways of displaying any data at all involve an "algorithm". There are no "algorithm-free alternatives" to anything at all except not using computers at all.
Maybe think about what you're actually trying to ask, then ask that question again.
I suspect OP wanted to know about a video platform where they were not getting any automated recommendations that they hadn't chosen to follow... my point is, chronological sorting is still an "algorithm".
