some channels dont post videos that often, so the last 5 can mean the oldest is few months ago. maybe add a time filter ? like show newest from 24h ago, from latest week, latest month ?

Latest 5 videos of the channel. If the creator has only 3 videos posted many years ago, then NoSuggest will bring up those 3 videos only. Purely up to content creators.

Cool idea. Is this allowed from T&C of YouTube? Is it also removing ads / autoplay?

NoSuggest is using official YouTube iFrame player. No explicitly removing ads or views. No downloading or hosting any videos in NoSuggest. All views and ads revenue if YouTube serve any ads, will go straight to YouTube. Although YouTube serve way fewer ads in iFrame player. Totally upto YouTube.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ok, there must be a way, though, just encrypt the personal channels chose with the user's password so you don't know what they have chosen, and don't track anything? And I think most people aren't too worried about it being known what their favorite 10 channels are, for example, yeah? And if you don't track what they actually watch at all, that info isn't very interesting.

That is a fair point and I hear you. The encrypted account idea is interesting. How about an export/import feature where you can save your channel list as a file and reload it anytime, or even a shareable link that encodes your channels in the URL like PCPartPicker does with builds. It would be faster than login. And no account creation and no tracking as promised. Would that solve your problem?
