Your sub feed?

The Home tab is where they seem to mix videos from subscribed and recommended creators. I highly suspect payments influence the frequency of subscribed recommendations on the homepage. (Subscribed) Colbert used to show on Home, then NEVER EVER did again for YEARS until a few weeks ago. Now he gets top placement, several days in a row.

You see random videos on the subscription tab? (Admittedly I don’t use it.)

I don't really want recommendations for anything. I just want my subscribed channels to appear in my subscriptions page. More than half of the videos from these channels are missing, because the algorithm decided they're not what I want to see. If a channel I'm subbed to posts something, I want to see it in this list. No exceptions

Ah, you don’t see videos from non-subscribed creators, but you don’t see 100% of videos from 100% of subscribed creators.

Not very intuitive.
