I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and watching additional content is harder.

This is good progress from Google to get off their platform :)

      Does Newpipe have any recommendations? I haven’t noticed any setting for this (and I haven’t missed it, just curious).

      Since I’ve been using Newpipe I’ve watched more videos of what I was specifically searching for and little to no mindless viewing. It’s allowing me to research certain topics more easily without the ads and distractions.
