That is why for the last couple of years I have been only using Invidious/Piped (on desktop) and NewPipe (on Android).

I have my subscriptions there and only new videos of the channels I'm interested into appear. No distraction, no trending low quality videos in my feed anymore. I only get what I'm interested into.

When I want to look for something new, I head over the popular/trending sections and maybe navigate a bit on vanilla YouTube to look for new things.

No regrets.
