By default you don't get "notifications", it just puts any new videos from those channels into your "Subscriptions" page.

I subscribe to 200+ channels, not because I want to see every video from all of them but because it generations a "Subscriptions" page full of content I know has already proven to be to my taste, because I find all the "front page" content on YouTube to be absolute crap.

YouTube has an incredible amount of legitimately interesting content but it's on smaller channels buried by clickbait/fake-drama/lowest-common-denominator stuff, so subscribing to the good channels you find is the only way to find the needles in the haystack.
