As someone who was a full-time YouTuber in the past, I have not been very happy with YouTube's new direction. I believe a large part of this new UX push is to integrate more ads in an organic way. I was a beta tester, between me and my friends we saw lots of scummy fake ads being inserted in our subscription feeds in an organic way: http://imgur.com/a/wWKHG http://imgur.com/a/wWKHG was one my friend sent me. Also, livestreams appear in your recommendation feed directly along videos with minimal clear distinction. Also please do your research into YouTube's recent censorship of monetization (circa 2017) and changes to monetization algorithm (circa 2015, 2016). They do not care about the content creators or users anymore, only the money. At least that is how they act.
