"wanted to get back my chronological feed, instead of a "algorithmically curated" one"

The 'Subscriptions' link at the top left of the Youtube home page only shows the things you subscribed to, just bookmark that.

Along with so many shorts. So many. Going from Smarttube back to the official app and it just plain sucks.

I use the "unhook" extension which let's you remove recommendations, set your youtube home page to your subscriptions (chronologically ordered videos), block shorts and more (you can cherrypick the features you want). Highly recommended. I would have paid for youtube premium if I was given these options, honestly.

I have premium and that’s what hurts the most! My issue is mostly on tv connected devices.

So why not just keep Smart tube installed on your TV?
