YouTube is Getting Worse

YouTube has driven alot of the good creators away and are pushing so much slop that even the good youtubers left are trying to adhere to what seems to get peoples attention or get their video into the algorithm stream.
 
Bumping this thread cause I've started noticing issues that some channels I'm subscribed to, their videos don't show up in the subscription feed.

I've gone through all settings, notification alerts and all that BS but I can't fix the issue.

Is youtube just trash now?

Haven't noticed anything yet.

Though, at this point we should be happy there's a subscription feed at all. It's the last useful feature Youtube has that allows some control of what you see, it allows a bunch of people like me to completely avoid the algorithm since this is the only part of Youtube i ever browse. No trends, no reccomended videos, no nothing. And for that reason i feel like Google will get rid of it soon. They can't have people watching only the things they want to watch. And then the shittyfication will be complete.
 
My biggest gripe are these AI channels that push out slop every two days. I think it would be easy for YouTube to flag a channel as AI by seeing how often they upload videos. AI channels simply cannot resist pumping out garbage every couple days.
 
I like how their new ""feature"" for "most relevant" videos show shit from days ago while pushing new videos out of the way. Why would I want to browse what's new from the channels I'm following when I can browse their old stuff instead!

Like, what the fuck is the purpose?
