I am currently subscribed to 692 channels which sounds like the most adhd thing ever haha. I was curious if i was the only one with such a high number of channels subscribed too or if others are too.

      Oh, Primitive technology is a good one! One of my favorites. I SO want to buy a piece of land, strip down to my underwear, and dig a shelter out of the dirt. Maybe make a kiln out of clay.

    A lot fewer than I used to be! Subscriptions == notifications, and I’ve been really focused on rooting out unnecessary notifications everywhere I can. At one point, the number was in the several hundreds before I realized just how ridiculous it was to believe I could keep up with that much video content.

    112 for me. I think a lot of them are dead and I go through and purge periodically. I really wish there was a way to organize your subscriptions in YouTube. I want a folder with the ones I actually watch and another with all the channels I subscribed to so I wouldn’t forget about them, or when I was briefly really into the history of barcodes (or whatever). I guess I could do two accounts, but I’d never keep up with it.

    Yeah same here I have way too many. I couldn’t check on the mobile app but I scrolled through and it went on for like 30 seconds lol. The funny thing is that I only watch like 3 of them somewhat consistently

      Scrolling on the android TV app is so bad when you have a bunch of subscriptions, it literally takes minutes to get to the bottom because the app loads thumbnails for every channel you scroll past.

      Basically once the list has to scroll it’s often easier to just search for the channel defeating the whole purpose of subbing to them.

        I basically treat my watch later list as a general slush for stuff before it lands in a playlist and as an actual watch later list.

        It’s messy and I’m proud to say it finally dipped below 1000 videos in it recently.

    258, maybe I should find 2 dead channels to unsubscribe from to get that nice 2^8 number, lol.

    I also have 620 videos in my Watch Later playlist at the moment, I keep stumbling across other videos that seem more immediately interesting than the ones in the playlist. >.>

    79; it’s only so low because I tend to unsubscribe from channels I’m getting bored with, almost as frequently as I subscribe to new ones.

      your welcome Haha. Good to know I’m not the only one. Do you find it that you forgot to unsubscribe from stuff that you or no longer interested in or your hobbies just keep growing. I feel like mine is a little bit of both but I always tell myself that I will go back haha

        I rarely bother to unsubscribe unless the YouTube channel really gets me mad XD I don’t mind stacking them up, the recommendations are good enough for my YouTube usage and channels that I really dig I have notifications for them ^^

    32, but only because I ruthlessly culled recently. Also I have 3 accounts to keep it manageable. 2 for whatever I’m currently “on” and one for comedy, which has been a consistent interest.

    How do I find this? I thought it would be as easy as clicking on the subscriptions tab, but I don’t see it.

      I’m on a laptop, mobile is probably different.

      On my homepage it says subscriptions, but it’s links to videos.

      Instead look at the top left of the page and click on the “hamburger” (3 stacked lines) to the left of the word YouTube.

      Then look along the left hand side for subscriptions and it will list the channel names to which you’re subscribed.

      Manually count those and add in the “show 13 more” or whatever your additional number is.
