Newpipe doesn't use the algorithm (besides the feed for popular but you don't really contribute to it though) which is actually one of the reasons I like it because it allows me to cut down on my watch time (though I also tend to listen much more than watch nowadays).

It does have downloads too, admittedly I never use this feature but it is neat because you can choose the format and quality which goes above even premium's choices for quality.

3rd party solutions for these corporate run apps truly are amazing!

I do download on my desktop with an extension (I think it’s just called “YouTube downloader”) or something.

Downloading videos is a regular habit not just to bypass ads but because the videos can disappear for everything from corporate to personal to esoteric reasons.
