      I am subscribed to over 100 channels, ranging from daily uploads to 1 video every few months. Frankly I don’t need more stuff to watch. When I do want to find something new, it’s either a recommendation from a friend, something I saw on a different social media, or something I searched for myself deliberately.

      This change isn’t a good thing, it’s Google trying to pressure more people into giving up more data, but the “threat” of them removing their algorithmically recommended content from my feed is not a threat at all, it’s a bonus if anything.

      I don’t watch any YouTube personalities or subscribe to channels. If I’m on YouTube, it’s to see a specific music video, informational video, or something linked by a friend

      In short, if I’m not specifically looking for a video, I don’t need or want one recommended to me.
