I use RSS feeds to follow YouTube channels I enjoy[1]. I absolutely never watch the "Trending" page nor follow the suggestions on the right side of the video.

I use RSS feeds to follow YouTube channels I enjoy[1]. I absolutely never watch the "Trending" page nor follow the suggestions on the right side of the video. When I want to search for something, I do, and hope the search algorithm isn't going to screw me over. [1]: I use Akregator and I can just enter the URL of the YouTube channel for it to find the RSS feed automatically.
