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.

I enjoy the default of algorithmically determined occasional notifications. For a couple of YouTubers I want all notifications and click the bell. For some I don't want any notifications, because I need to be in the right mindset to enjoy their content.

I do think that it'd be better if we got a notification when someone who hasn't posted in a while has uploaded something new, like how Tumblr does. Some people might post a lot so I don't have the bell on, then go away for a while, and I'll not think to turn it on.
