Most surprising thing to me was how few people use the “subscriptions” feed on Youtube. It’s been the default way I’ve been using it for as long as I’ve been on the platform.
I also remember when Facebook introduced the algorithmic feed and thought the concept was utterly ridiculous.
I’ve found myself transition from subscriptions to the feed over the years. My subscriptions became such a long list of past interests while the feed somehow almost always seems to know what I want. It’s exactly the poisonous quick dopamine hack that every other social media is also abusing. I hate it, but at the same time I don’t quite have the energy to fight it. After I arrive at home tired from work and grocery shopping I just need some quick entertainment, and the feed usually knows wat better what I want than my own subscriptions.
