One of the issues of YouTube is there is "discovery" vs "what I want to watch". https://www.youtube.com is ok for discovery and pulls a lot of the "this is what I've subscribed to" in there too. Doing a subscribe to channels that give you consistent media that you want to watch and then going to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions as the "this is where I want to be when on YouTube" gives a completely different experience.

(I'm also quite free with the "don't recommend this channel to me" option if something disappoints me)
