I know this doesn't solve the issue but the browser plugin "unhook" is a nice quality of life improvement. I turn off homepage, autoplay, recommendations and have it take me strait to my subs when I type youtube.com.

I've put Firefox in recovery node (no extensions) and forgot it that way. Seeing YouTube without Unhook was an assault on the senses. I sometimes forget how bad the default web browsing experience is.

For others, Unhook lets you hide elements of the YouTube experience, and even replace your home page with just your subscriptions.
