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!
This may not be exactly what you’re looking for but have you considered using Firefox containers, automatically logging in to a different Google account for each container? I’m fairly sure this would work on mobile (probably only Android though), and is almost certainly more convenient and polished than a separate YouTube client.
