There aren't any because all ways of displaying any data at all involve an "algorithm". There are no "algorithm-free alternatives" to anything at all except not using computers at all.
Maybe think about what you're actually trying to ask, then ask that question again.
Shut up nerd
While you may be right, it’s irrelevant if you say it with such a tone. Additionally, it’s quite clear OP means predatory forms of algorithms.
Just say you didn’t understand what the guy asked. It’s fine.
I suspect OP wanted to know about a video platform where they were not getting any automated recommendations that they hadn't chosen to follow... my point is, chronological sorting is still an "algorithm".
Ah, so you did understand, you just wanted to make him feel bad.
With New pipe I only see the channels I subscribe to. There's no home page, I just go to the list of channels and check if they have any new content.
I don't see how an algorithm comes into play when I'm manually subscribing and going through the list.
