I was inspired to open this thread while reading the other thread about girl youtubers.
Me personally in order to lower my time wasted on youtube I have very little subscriptions, i really hate notifications and to be bombarded by youtube recommendations so i subscribed only to channels I really like.

 

[Papa]

Zero, lol fuck that

 

[Anki]

Well thats better than me

 

[Elektro Demon]

A lot.

 

[mekes]

203, and it’s trimmed as of 6 months back. All of my current subs are people who I’ve watched multiple videos of. I trimmed those one and done types away. Various hobbies like piano tutorials, camera and photo editing tutorials, fighting game players, MMA news, arranged music composers, footy stuff, food channels. I normally focus on a hobby or 2 at a time, so if I’m subbed I might still miss 6 months of videos at any given time. All notifications OFF. The best thing about YouTube is that it is in your own time.

 

[Cato]

None.

[The Bloody-Nine]

[eot]

I don't subscribe, I just check certain channels every now and then

Who’s that slut

Says in the title dude

 

[Cunth]

lol who are these boomers who don’t subscribe to Michael bisping podcast

 

[Kadayi]

Over 500 but I largely use subs as a way to bookmark stuff

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

lol who are these boomers who don’t subscribe to Michael bisping podcast

Come on, buddeh.

 

[Birdo]

None. I have a folder in my Chrome Favorites with all the channels I watch.

This way I avoid having a youtube account.

You have a google account.

 

[sonomamashine]

OMG 15 min combo compilation

 

[Skyr]

~120

Btw is there any way to categorize subs so I don't have all of them mixed in one feed.
It makes me not wanting to sub to more chanels because it gets too clutterd.

 

[darkinstinct]

Cut it down a couple weeks ago from 100+ to 40. I like to subscribe when I see an interesting video and then unsubscribe if I haven't watched any other of their content in months.

 

[Birdo]

You have a google account.

Says who?

 

[GV82]

Over 600-700

Music

Bands/Artists take up a large percentage, since i am into hundreds of different artists & sub genres of Metal, Rock - so easy to get their latest videos/Interviews on my timeline.
Then I follow some bootleg music ones.
Record Labels /Festival Channels, Guitars/Bass/Drums, then i was trying to get into blues music also punk at one point

Lots of Horror Channels

A Couple of Cooking Channels

Hockey - for the highlights

Then so i dont get bored every few years I rotate my hobbies & interests or try to discover a new one, it’s great to learn new things especially as i didn't do well at school and had no interest back then in learning anything new.

So it could be anything from Art to Lifehacks, Motorbikes, Drone racing league, then there was a Snakes themed Channel so i had to follow that.

And a few Video Games of course.

And so on, you get the picture, I could have ADHD as my minds all over the place and I don’t watch regular TV anymore just Youtube & Netflix etc.

Seriously I never get bored between this and my daily life activities & don’t understand how people get bored in this internet age, this lockdown thing is gonna be fine as I have something new every day if I want & I can still go outside (in my garden for fresh air).

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Says who?

You said you use chrome. If you don't have a google account, why would you use that appalling pile of shit?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I mostly subscribe to sports news channels and podcasts

 

[synchronicity]

79, but just looking at some of them just now, I have no idea why, lol.

 

[Shizumapower]

I have about 40 and it's growing.

Any recommendations on your faves. The ones that you immediately click the moment a video goes up?

Mine is currently Red Letter Media. An easy one for quick laughs and media information. It's their editing and useful visuals (on youtube??) that keep me coming back.

RedLetterMedia

Red Letter Media is responsible for the 70 minute Phantom Menace review as well as Space Cop, Half in the Bag, and Best of the Worst. Full time frauds.

0. Don't really see the point in subscribing when Youtube already recommends me new videos of channels I watch anyway.

track the content you like, it's not complicated

kinda like channels on a uh, thing

 

[Javthusiast]

I counted quick and seems I have around 798 subscriptions. This is over a period of 10 years and many of those channels don't even upload anymore or I don't bother watching their videos.

Really need to sort them the fuck out already, but too lazy.

 

[Shizumapower]

Spoiler: You sure?

 

[teezzy]

Too many honestly. Around 100. I need to get rid of at least half. A lot of them are just channels with old Opie and Anthony clips, Million Dollar Extreme related, or random doom metal streams.

LGR is probably my favorite channel of the bunch though. Best Youtuber in the game.

LGR

Weekly coverage of retro tech, PC games, and more! Classic computer gaming, Oddware, thrifting, Tech Tales, Sims, etc If you'd like to ask a question or just...

[black_13]

About 650 but I don't watch more than maybe 40 channels. I subscribe to anybody if I used one of their videos.

 

[TaySan]

I have a couple. Mostly PC tech and history related ones.

 

[pennythoughts]

39.

split between dota 2/fgc, history, music, memes and cooking.

I'll give a recommendation to Mr. Beat

Mr. Beat

Mr. Beat is a social studies teacher who specializes in making history and geography more engaging through entertaining and easy to understand videos. He has...

Good for bite-sized history lessons and supreme court "briefs."

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

i just have a youtube bookmark list created in firefox.
I don't want to sign in to youtube and put up with thier bs every damn time.

 

[Gargus]

0.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Around 90, but many of them are inactive / deleted / DMCA'd accounts and I don't bother deleting them manually.

 

[Threeshotgamer]

Probably around 20 or so. Mostly tech and DIY channels with a few tabletop ones mixed in.

[Breakage]

None
I don't even log in to YouTube.

 

[Kadayi]

Sorry for the necro but I came across this Chrome extension that allows you to create Subscription Groups. Useful for those of us with hundreds of Subs: -

PocketTube - YouTube Subscription Manager

The better way to group and organize your Youtube subscriptions
