This is so backwards @TeamYouTube @SusanWojcicki A user clicking the Subscribe button demonstrates their intent; They want to watch all of that creators content and be notified of it. Why should there be another layer with a bell you have to press? This is damaging small creatorshttps://twitter.com/Chaosxsilencer/status/977197830854062080 …

Hi Jack - Viewers will always see videos of channels they are subscribed to in the subs feed. In this video, we were referring to notifications which not all viewers wanted to receive. We added the bell to give viewers a choice. More here: http://goo.gl/XLDtz4 Hope that helps!

Ah, so sorry! That response isn't exactly correct. If your notification settings are "occasional" then you get notified occasionally (based on affinity). If you choose "all" then you do get all notifications for every video upload of every subscription.

The goal of the bell is to provide more options, someone might not want to be notified about every upload from every single subscription (especially if they have A LOT). No matter your notification settings, all videos uploads still show in the subs feed. Hope this clarifies!

I understand that, thanks. The issue for me is that by default when you subscribe to a channel, notifications are set to occasional. In my opinion, when you hit subscribe, notifications by default should be set to all, and the user can then select if they want them or not.

This is not what you want. Most people are subscribed to hundreds, if not thousands, of channels. Setting notifications on by default would just cause them to disable YouTube notifications altogether. Besides, your videos get lost in a sea of notifications.

The best businesses always think about the user first, then about making money. You, as a business, should think first about how the viewers of your channel interacts with YouTube, instead of just greedily think about how you can get notifications to more and more viewers.

If you want people to enable notifications, just make awesome content that they don’t want to miss. If you estimate the average intelligence of your viewership thus that you don’t think they know how the bell button works, remind them about it in every video.

You have 2.5M subs, you’re among the top 1% of YouTubers. You really shouldn’t be complaining about notifications. The other 99% of new and unknown channels need that chance to win the bell button over your channel way more than you need 2.5M subs to be spammed over every video.

Also, a channel that makes a video once a month needs those notifications a lot more than a channel with daily updates.
