If you know what you want to watch why rely on Google recommending it to you? I only visit my subscriptions page:

https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

I don't have notifications on and when I visit YouTube I'll check to see what videos I want to watch since I last visited. I usually check the up next to see if anything similar/interesting is recommended and very rarely go to the home page to get recommendations.

Reminder that you don't have to have an account to subscribe:

* https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=THE_CHAN...

* https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=YOURPLA...

(Though an 'official' subscription with-in the system may help the creator.)

Because I want new and fresh content from the topics I frequently watch. I want to be entertained, stimulated in various, unexpected ways. YT is sitting atop a goldmine and they offer only morsels.
