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.

same I don't keep up with all that video content either and I keep meaning to go through it but I keep forgetting lol
12 subscriptions. But I really only keep up with 3 if them. I watch every video they put out.
Technology connections https://youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections
Fortnine https://youtube.com/@FortNine
Primitive technology https://youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550
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.
noice keep it small and manageable unlike me lol
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.
“Only” 58, all of them topics of hyperfocus forgotten after a couple of weeks.
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. >.>
Around 40? But a lot of them are animators or video essayists that post once every like 6 months
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.
Mine was almost 1000. Now I made a new google account only for YouTube and turned the watch history on without subscribing to any channels. Let's see how long I can hold it.
too many to bother filtering it. I use freetube to maintain subscriptions and that is apparently starting to creep to 400.
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" at the bottom of the list or whatever your additional number is.
It's the 193 unwatched in my watch later that stress me out :)
this is why I have given up on my watch later so if I don't watch it that week I probably ain't gonna watch it or remember to watch it lol
Oldest video in mine is 4 months, There will be some space somewhere to watch it eventually. probably 3 minutes before I realise I don't like it!
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.
