    I just want the videos i’ve subscribed for to actually show up in my sub feed. That’s really it, man.

    People are Google are being paid upwards of 200-300k a year to do this. It’s a prime example of doing something just to fulfill your quote on the kanban board

      Your sub feed?

      The Home tab is where they seem to mix videos from subscribed and recommended creators. I highly suspect payments influence the frequency of subscribed recommendations on the homepage. (Subscribed) Colbert used to show on Home, then NEVER EVER did again for YEARS until a few weeks ago. Now he gets top placement, several days in a row.

      You see random videos on the subscription tab? (Admittedly I don’t use it.)

        I don’t really want recommendations for anything. I just want my subscribed channels to appear in my subscriptions page. More than half of the videos from these channels are missing, because the algorithm decided they’re not what I want to see. If a channel I’m subbed to posts something, I want to see it in this list. No exceptions
