I’ve been using invidious for a few years. I recently changed up my morning routine and have been eating breakfast watching YouTube via the TV app versus on my PC.

It made me realize I kind of miss the recommended videos in some circumstances like when I just wanna veg out.

Are there any current viable yt front ends that either maintain the algorithm or utilize their own to find you new content?

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a frontend that uses its own algorithm and using YouTube's one is impossible or money consuming without sacrificing privacy altogether. Open-source algorithms are in a very early stage. I've only heard of 1 or 2 experimental Lemmy or Mastodon local algorithm systems. I think creating one for YouTube is going to be much harder since the content is videos instead of text messages.
