Yeah, i've used tampermonkey and various other scripts to remove all discovery/suggestions from youtube, and I've never regretted it. It's great. But that's just my personal style, if you sit down and watch it like TV then I can see how that would be a sacrifice.
The one thing you lose I guess is discovery, but the algorithm is so volatile that maybe that's not the worst thing in the world.

I don't, but I like the recommendations on the home screen to find stuff I might like...again though, like 75% of the time, I don't.
This is actually what I do most of the time. I feel like that anecdote of RMS where he says he wgets web pages and e-mails them to himself.
