I don't know why anyone is using youtube directly when they can use Newpipe or Freetube. No ads, sponsorblock and even the ability to automatically skip intros, recaps etc On top of that no google account tracking or algorithms.
Edit: Adding "libretube" as well based on some of the replies to this comment.
no suggestions, horrible ui and ux
Try libretube. It's more UX-y. I personally like the simplicity of Newpipe but I can get why it's not for everyone.
and for suggestions? i want an homepage that welcomes me when i open the app, that says you could watch this or that, continue watching this or maybe u would like this other one
I think libretube has that.
last time i checked it didn't have that
