I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people act like it doesn’t exist? I think it’s super convenient, especially if you’re subscribed to a ton of channels and don’t want your notifications feed flooded with new videos.

    Because I get a non-toxic personalized YouTube feed that does not suck…

      Would highly recommend pausing yohr watch history when you’re satisfied with the recomendations. It stops them from collecting new data based on what you watch. This doesnt affect your revomendations unless you wipe the history

        I want it to continuously adapt to my ever changing interests. That’s one of the major features for me.

      Ok, if you’re using it as your everyday entertainment tool… i only use it for the odd youtube link and prefer written text over videos.
