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.

It should be like this in my opinion; User Subscribes > User gets all notifications unless they only want to see them occasionally, and then they can use the bell to choose. The way it is at the moment (opt in rather than opt out) seems illogical to me. Just my two cents!

i sub to lots of channels, I totally do NOT want notifications from all of them. I know content creators want us to get all the notifications, but the viewers most definitely do not.

I totally get that, I subscribe to a lot of channels too. My point here though is that by default I think that all notifications should be turned on when you hit subscribe, and THEN you could decide if you wanted to have them on or not for whatever channel you choose.

I prefer it the way it is. If a channel has content I want to see the second it's uploaded, I click the bell. If not, I leave it as the current default. I can see very clearly where new content is without more opt outs.
