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 guess the answer would be yes for me, because I’ve never subscribed to any youtube videos. If I wanted to watch a youtube video, I’d search for it and click on it. Most of the time I probably use youtube without being logged in to a google account. Have no interest in “following” any youtubers.
