I'm on Linux mint, and I've been wanting to reorganize and clean out my online footprint for a while now, starting with Youtube. I realized that a very useful way to do this would be by compartmentalizing my youtube activity. This would have the additional benefit of each "compartment" having a very specific algorithmic "identity" on YT's backend, so i'd likely only get recommendations directly related to the niche of the channel, both reducing distractions and increasing gems being recommended.
So, I need a YT client with the following features:
- runs on Mint
- Convenient as a daily-driver
- easy and safe to switch between different accounts
- preferably FOSS
- if it had a mobile version, that'd be great. But I'm not naive enough to believe that such a convenient thing would ever happen.
I'd love to hear from you!
The only Desktop native YouTube client I know is Plasma Tube, which uses Invidious backends, might not be what you're looking for.
