TL;DR: fuck shitty algorithms!
The Youtube app seems to have a highlights option for your subscriptions. Found out because it activated itself.
Firstly: NEVER FUCKING EVER CHANGE MY FUCKING OPTIONS BECAUSE YOU ADDED A NEW FEATURE. YOU MAY NOTIFY ME AND IF I WANT IT ACTIVATED I AM PROBABLY ABLE TO TOUCH ME SCREEN TWICE AND ACTIVATE IT!
Secondly: Why can't people understand that I don't want any fucking neural networks (except sometimes devrant because the algo is the algo) to tell me what I want to look at, especially if it's on fucking YouTube where I only have to go through a few videos a day? But hey maybe I want to watch that video I didn't want to watch 5 days ago!?
Thirdly: I subscribed to more than two channels and there might be a fucking reason why I subscribed to these channels. Don't show me 5/6 videos not only from the same creator but it's just the last 5 videos from the same series.

    1) if the new features started off disabled then no-one would ever notice them.

    2) you don't like neural nets? Have fun looking through the zillion videos YouTube has to find what you want. Search? What do you think search runs on?

    @Froot 1) just send a pop-up message when people enter the site for the first time (could even ask if the feature should be enabled or if the user prefers chronological order)
    2) I like neural networks, they're useful actually quite fun. But I don't want them to change the stuff I configured, based on what I watched because then I only get the daily stuff. I would have missed multiple interesting videos if I hadn't changed it back.
    Imagine your email program would sort your emails by how often you read emails by the sender.
