Of COURSE! What an obvious filter! LOL! But I think all the legacies get turned off by sophisticated YT users. "Don't recommend channel" is one of my favorite options. If I WANT MSNBC, I just have to type the 5 letters plus whatever topic.
It doesn't matter if I'm subscribed or not, if I've passed over Channel A a bunch of times. The algorithm instantly shoots the most recent stuff at me, first.
Just like washing the dishes or mowing the lawn, you need to switch your browsing method to your subscriptions, and view your subscribed channels, piecemeal. Styx is one of the better ones at giving you 5 or 10 minutes of fresh content. I may or may not view "CoronaVirus N+1, N+2, N+3" if I already watched "CoronaVirus N" and the next headline gives me a number. I'm glad somebody's trackin' it, and I watch a significant fraction of his content.
There was this really pathetic story on MSNBC by a loyal MSNBC viewer, who said she voted for Bernie, because she felt MSNBC was entirely too critical of Bernie, and giving everybody else a free pass. He was made more popular by their negative reporting on him. I totally got that. Works on many levels. The pathetic part is the woman openly admitting she watches MSNBC all the time. What a small world she must live in, to sit through commercial t.v. news all day. Shallow, superficial news and opinion, squeezed between corporate-establishment advertising. She could listen to all the candidates in open-ended conversations on the Internet. And if she's limited to what her UHF/VHF brings in, then she's livin' in the '50s.
