It’s pretty well known that their feed is optimized for engagement above all else. They will show you videos they think you’ll like and NOT show you a new video from a channel you’re subscribed to.
It’s called an “algorithm.”
It’s so extreme at times that you can even not know that you’re subscribed to a channel, because you never see them.
This is what I mean by not respecting subscriptions. There’s no stronger explicit signal
I can give YT when I want to see more of a creator. But they ignore that and decide for me what I’ll like.
wat? How do you get from being forgetful about your own stuff to youtube not respecting subscriptions? (whatever that even means lol)
The implication is that Youtube so rarely presents them the content they are subscribed to that they have forgotten about the channel entirely.
I use YT daily, heavily.

Do you not check the subscriptions tab and just hope “the algorithm” keeps feeding people you like?
You can turn it off you know. I’ve been using YouTube like that for a while and have had no issues with missing videos from subscribed channels.
