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 use an extension called PocketTube to manage my subscriptions into categories. I’m sure there’s a better way, but it works for me.
Newpipe does the same on mobile, ill have to try pocket tube, does it need a (yt?) account?
