One of the things I like doing in the YouTube app is having infinite scroll on the recommendation screen.

One of the issues I find with apps like Newpipe and Greyjay, is that the recommendations are very limited compared to actual YouTube app.

I’m not sure if there’s a better forum to ask this, but does anyone know if the grayjay app allows for unlimited scrolling?

    the recommendations are very limited compared to actual YouTube app.

    For me, that’s a feature, not a bug.

    Privacy based apps like that don’t try to run the ‘algorithm’ on you to track what sort of content you do and don’t like.

    So, they don’t build a profile of you to recommend content. Welcome to privacy.

    Edit: Hey, at least you get to search for what you want.
