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.
I think most people sadly don’t use subscription feed. They just blindly watch whatever youtube algorithm throws at them.
I use an RSS feed. I never miss a video and it always keeps my backlog in tact for me to comb through later.
Personally I remember when the main page used to be the user’s subscription feed. After they changed it, I just updated my bookmark and continued to land on the subscription feed. At some point everyone else seems to have forgotten that that happened and started pushing the bell.
Same here. My bookmark goes to the subs page.
Why logging in on youtube anyway? It makes it easy to track you.
Because I get a non-toxic personalized YouTube feed that does not suck…
