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.
TBH I don’t use the subscription feed often. I subscribe to many channels and rarely clean them out after not watching them for years. So that feed is full of videos that I’m not really in the mood for right now but I might watch some day. My home feed is filled with videos that I’m currently in the mood for - from subscribed channels and new ones I can then discover.
Same here- I rarely ever use the subscription feed. I just have notifications on for the main channels I watch regularly, and I toss those into my watch later playlist. Whenever I feel like actually watching Youtube, I just open my watch later and start from the top.
agreed. imo YouTube has one of the best algorithms out of any social media site. maybe it’s just because I’ve had an account for over 10 years, but it always suggests great videos
