Me: “Sam O… haha cute name. I’ve never heard of it. I’ll see if they have a YT channel. Oh they do! What?! I’m already subscribed??!”
I wish YT actually respected subscriptions. Here I am subscribed to someone and I’ve so thoroughly forgotten it that their name doesn’t even ring a bell.
wat? How do you get from being forgetful about your own stuff to youtube not respecting subscriptions? (whatever that even means lol)
I use YT daily, heavily.
It’s pretty well known that their feed is optimized for engagement above all else. They will show you videos they think you’ll like and NOT show you a new video from a channel you’re subscribed to.
It’s called an “algorithm.”
It’s so extreme at times that you can even not know that you’re subscribed to a channel, because you never see them.
This is what I mean by not respecting subscriptions. There’s no stronger explicit signal I can give YT when I want to see more of a creator. But they ignore that and decide for me what I’ll like.
Do you not check the subscriptions tab and just hope "the algorithm" keeps feeding people you like?
