A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm not all that sure; don't they get the same amount of money from ads no matter how you find them? And they get a hefty chunk on "Join" and "Thanks" payments (a 30% cut, IIRC), which people are less likely to spend on non-subscribed channels.
That's a fair point, improving the subscription feed would be in their best interest for the people who use it, even if that number is low.
If you look at your Subscribed page and don’t see any updates, there’s a good chance you’ll leave YouTube without watching anything.
The Home page has a higher likelihood of tempting you to watch something you hadn’t planned on.
