> I'd hate to miss out on videos I subscribed to
But that's the problem. I'm currently subscribed to a channel that posts daily videos, that I watch almost every day (Linus Tech Tips, don't judge me) but I haven't seen his recent videos in my feed. I see his videos from 2 days ago but I have to manually go to his page to see the two most recent videos.
If any of this was configurable I wouldn't be upset, but it's not. I never opted-in for this feature and I just want my subscription page to work normally. I understand some people are subscribed to channels they don't want to watch content for, but that's not my problem!

I'd hate to miss out on videos I subscribed to, and I'd probably resort to making my own subscriptions feed: setting up a script to scrape my favorite channels, and compiling a list of new videos. I'd probably end up discovering far fewer videos that I am not subscribed to.
