I've thought many times over the years that I would love to be able to subscribe to a particular playlist or "show" from a channel. There is several channels that I want to see their main stuff, but not their side content. Or a particular game from a lets-play-er, but not their other games.
- delecti 4y agoSurprisingly Youtube did have that functionality, though it was removed quite a while ago. I specifically remembering being able to subscribe to "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" (in the late '2000s time range), without also subscribing to the other videos on the channel.
- wolrah 4y agoIt doesn't work exactly the same as a subscription, but you can add a playlist from a channel to your library, if the channel offers one that fits what you want. For example the channel Accursed Farms puts out a Half-Life based show called Freeman's Mind which I love, but I'm not huge on the rest of their content, so I follow their playlist and can easily get just the content I want.
- suddenclarity 4y agoPitch meetings and Ars Technicas interviews about old games come to mind. Fortunately, pitch meetings got his own channel last year.
- izacus 4y agoSame here, but cynic in me says that they want to increase your engagement by spamming you with more content that you MIGHT also want to watch.
- nullandvoid 4y agoThere's nothing cynical about that take, it's a fact this is how YouTube (and modern social media) operate. Longer eyeball time == more ad revenue.
