I have been using youtube for many years and have never subscribed to anything. I always think they will just overload my email. But every youtuber asks for it and am still like nah. Is it worth it?
I started doing it because at some point many years ago, Youtube started to optimize their recommendation algorithms for maximum viewer retention. This led to more and more clickbait and drawn out videos in recommendations and homepage.
But on the subscription page, I know there will be a sea of quality videos to choose from, without having to sift through all the junk.
