How does clicking “subscribe” get you any better content from yt? Less clicks? Sure. Good stuff, no.

Or do you mean YT premium?

You subscribe to stuff you like and then it shows you more of that stuff and less of the general dross what do you confuse about?

There's a button at the bottom of the app and on the left of the web page that says "Subscriptions".

I get that, but how does that get you better content?? It’s no different if you sub or don’t sub to a channel

Que? Good channels are good channels. Some of these people have standards and stick to them. Like Project Farm and Essential Craftsman.

Like I thought.

Subscribing does not do anything special other than bookmark channels. It does not give you better content at all which is why none of the responses make any sense.

If you only subscribe to good content creators, you no longer have the click bait garbage recommendations. It's not a bookmark. It's a separate feed.

Ahhh, I don’t remotely use recommendations. So no wonder why I don’t understand.
