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.

    The one thing I hate about the sub feed is that I can’t seem to filter out shorts. I have no interest in shorts, and they make up more than half of my feed.

      I just block the element. If it pops up again, I block again.

      On mobile shorts don’t exist at all because I’ll use ReVanced for the rest of my life.
