    You’re not the only one, but you are a tiny minority.

    Technology Connections did a really good video on this topic specifically, and while you can’t extrapolate his numbers to every channel, seeing that less than 5% of all your views come from people using the subscriptions feed is very telling about how most users operate on platforms like YouTube.

    Nobody wants to build their feed anymore. They want an AI/algorithm to do the legwork for them. This is ingrained in modern culture at this point. All the people I know who use any kind of social media site tell me that they just scroll through their home feed and only like stuff or follow creators to improve their home feed recommendations, not to create a dedicated follow feed.
