Is there a version for adults? Something that keeps you from getting pulled down engagement bait rabbit holes would be great. I don’t want it to be overly focused on children’s education though.

I disabled all suggested content on my YouTube account. My “home” page shows as totally blank. Only the subscription tab works, or explicitly searching. You still get recommended “related videos” but it helps stay focused on the things you’ve chosen to see.


I exlusively watch youtube videos from my homepage and from the related videos section. You can train the YouTube algorithm to not feed you garbage, most of the videos on my homepage are 30+ minutes long educational content. I just wish you could permanently hide the Shorts section (I guess ublock can do this), so that I could see more than 6 at a time.

I also never subscribe to any channels, watching a few videos pretty much guarantees they will pop up on the homepage every once in a while.
