The problem doesn’t really need a solution for me: I watch what I want, when I want. I subscribe as a way of getting videos I know I’ll like, but the final decision is mine. If I’m interested in a certain topic, I search for it. Otherwise, I go to my subscriptions to get inspired.
I don't know what people are complaining about? I don't get notified on ANY of my channels and I don't miss ANY of their videos. All I do is look at the Subscription page (https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions). Outside of the actual videos, I only go there on YouTube.
I so hate that "suggestion" system. Here and on facebook. You ALWAYS miss the important things you are interested in the most..... I am concidering to cut my subscription list down to maybe 10. I would rather have a very long list i have to scroll through than not see anything at all. Missed your last 10!!!!! Videos because my supscription feed didnt show any of them.
the part about facebook and youtube showing what they want you to see and not what's simply available is interesting. just like supermarkets with their "fidelity cards". you end up being forced to watch/eat/buy something you might enjoy but that ultimately wasn't what you were looking for. i think it gives too much power to big and/or monopole companies, even more so if they can intermitantly afford tu run at a loss. a bit reminiscent of matrix , and how everyone is taken care of, yet no one is in control really...
+Garret Hoffman anyone want to see how RSS feeds work should go to wikipedia and read up on them, and then go to feedly.com because thats the best web-based RSS feed application I've found so far... =p also... f*** google because they got rid of google reader... seriously... if there was an alternate to youtube, I'd be on it instead of here...
I think YouTube makes it so that only the big people get notifications sent to allow the rich to get richer(that helps YouTube) and the poor get poorer.
I had noticed that I'd have to manually look for a video and often I'd find one had been up for a month without me knowing. Also, this video is 8 months old and I just noticed it.
I discovered the email option next to the subscriber button 5 years ago. Now I have a system of rules, filters, folders and subfolders. Everything is organized, and I never miss a single video. Ever.
i did a test, i looked at each of the channels i am subscribed to and double checked (up to a week back) that i got every video they put out, unless youtube is also hiding these videos from the list of videos on their channel page, i got every single video, even from the channels i can never be bothered to watch videos from, i am currently purposely not watching videos from collegehumor (they are starting to suck anyway) and will be checking in a couple months again to see if i continue to receive all of them. but i can find no issues with my subscription box at this time. i think the more likely problem is people not checking their subscription box, it doesnt show all those videos in your "what to watch" page, which is fine and by design
great point but i come here when i have time. (that sounds wrong but hope you understand) and when I come I don't have to impatiently wait for the next video, i just go ahead and enjoy another 5 minutes of my life. (still sounds kinda wrong...). anyway, love the videos, keep up the good work :)
Nah nah, Youtube filters shit for the "What to Watch" section, which isn't the main feed, but is where you are sent to automatically, and it *does* filter stuff there because _reasons_ ...It's best to just bookmark YouTube "My Subscriptions" page and use that to get to YT instead, and only use "What to Watch" when you want to double check if you have missed something youtube didn't put in your sub box.
Wow... i just watched the Arrow-Aspirin video on SED and saw a comment of yours. I looked at your picture and thought "Hey, that looks familiar!". So I looked at your video list and saw a bunch of new and unfamiliar videos and thought "I probably saw a video from him and didn't sub. Let's fix that!" and to my amazement, I was actually already subscribed! I heard of this issue and watched videos and explanations about it before, but it seemed not to affect my subs really... guess I was wrong :/
Its true i never see your videos on my subscription feed, and i feel like i always need to subscribe to you for some reason i dont stay subscribed to you
with the removal of the "collections" feature, I will now subscribe to your newsletter. I made me realize how dependent i had become on this relatively simple feature.
And this is why I boycotted Youtube's home page years ago - Using a Chrome addon that always forces and re-directs me to my Subscriptions page as in the olde' days.
I haven't been getting updates on your stuff for so long I actually thought you had just stopped making videos.. Wtf youtube? It shows me pages of crap i dont care about, but doesn't show me the stuff i do want to see..
I literally just subbed to the Email list minutes before watching this video all because of a thumbnail link embedded in a different video. THANK YOU for publicizing this so much, I desperately needed more CGP Grey in my life.
lol speaking of not finding video I found this one today and it is upsetting that YouTube doesn't just show you all new videos from channels that you have subscribed to.
