I turned YouTube history off and just watch videos through “my subscriptions”
For me it’s a game changer
I basically did the same thing but have a YouTube downloader that puts them on my Plex server. So I can watch a show then like a YouTube video and call it a night
I wanted to set that up to for a while. But I don’t have a home server, just a seedbox and it’s limited in what I can do. What software are you using?
I’m using pinchflat on it. The trickiest part was just the naming scheme in pinchflat for the videos and the library configuration on plex so it shows them correctly.
Also I got blocked by YouTube a few times because I would pause it for a while then start it up and it would download way too many so they would block me for like a month
Thanks, I’ll have a look if the server supports it.
I degoogled, so I don’t login.

I go to youtube website and its just a blank page with a sidebar and a searchbar. My subscriptions are just bookmarked pages of people I follow, or I subscribe through Grayjay.
I do something similar, not as many extensions and very incomplete bookmarks. Most of the time I just go through a list in my head, so sometimes I remember a channel I haven’t checked in a while and then have enough videos to watch for a week.
I want to do the same, but if I’m rehearsing on my own I might be playing along with a YouTube. My music account’s history is basically my busking setlist.
I really should download the songs and make a Winamp playlist
