Too bad the “bell icon” is algorithmically handled. Verified by 2 different YouTube reps I talked to. So no, not even pressing the bell icon is a guarantee anymore.https://twitter.com/teamyoutube/status/977335508434010112 …

Sorry this topic has been so confusing, but that's not actually correct. If you tap the bell for a specific channel and choose *all notifications* then you receive all notifications. Otherwise, the default is to receive "occasional" notifications, which is the "algorithmic" part.

What a strange option. You either want notifications or you don’t. Why convolute and confuse? I was on a call where two reps argued with each other about whether it was or wasn’t algo handled so I’m hesitant to believe this. Especially when notifications rarely send out.

“Convoluted and confuse” is YouTube’s motto. Categorically fibbed about sun and notification feeds for years, talking to anyone’s audience en masse would demonstrate how none of it works 100% of the time, even if the bell is correctly pressed.
