Not sure what you mean by "Skytube [...] does call it ('Trending') 'recommended'", because YouTube have both "Recommended" and "Trending" and they're two different things.
Does Skytube not distinguish them?
- luckylion 7y agoNo, Skytube doesn't use YT's subscription and recommendations. You locally set your subscriptions and the app checks for updates occasionally or when forced, no account required, no server-side profile (well, they could, I'm sure you stick out like a colorful bird using that client), no YT-defined sorting of what might interest you. And it has a bookmark & download function built in. I'm somewhat of a fan as you can tell, there's more on https://skytube-app.com/ https://skytube-app.com/ and you can install it via F-Droid. They do have a Trending page as well, but I don't know how that's calculated. It's very random, has nothing in common with YT's Trending page, and I don't use it.
- fireattack 7y agoThanks for the explanation. I thought it's just yet another "YouTube with no ad" app, guess I was wrong and it's more than that!
