So far I am really liking FreeTune as an alternative to UBO. However, my family really hates it. One of the reasons for this is because it doesn’t have a recommended vidoes section. Is it possible to download an addon for that, or is there an alternative to FreeTube that works more like YouTune?
Another thing that I can’t seem to find a solution for is that when you use an external player from FreeTube, some age restricted videos won’t play on the external player. Is there a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading.
Maybe your family would accept ads to get YouTube the way they like?
They have to turn on the brain, gather a list of their favorite creators, subscribe in freetube, then it can have an home page with “recommended” videos
The lack of the algorithm is exactly why I like freetube
Unfortunately that’s the point of FreeTube precisely, that’s why it uses libre instances like Piped or Invidious, I think what you mention is impossible.
The closest thing you can use is ReVanced, which is Youtube but without ads, keeping the analytics and recommendations.
There is an app created by Louis Rossman which is called “Grayjay” you can give it a try. It has adblock on videos and show recommended if you signed in, and many more features
