Combine this with unhook[1] and you can hide all the "algorithmic" parts of youtube aswell.

Only issue is channels that mix shorts (which I am not interested in) and regular content. If anyone knows how to hide shorts on a per channel basis in the subscription feed, I'm all ears.

That is a great list, though I think content discovery is still a hard issue. Below are a few music-centered channels. To illustrate that discovery is hard, I had a bit of a struggle to find a few of them, even when I knew what I was looking for. Content covers performance, music theory, money, and history. I also verified no overlap with your list.
