Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?

I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn't do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people act like it doesn't exist? I think it's super convenient, especially if you're subscribed to a ton of channels and don't want your notifications feed flooded with new videos.

The one thing I hate about the sub feed is that I can't seem to filter out shorts. I have no interest in shorts, and they make up more than half of my feed.

Don't forget about the stories or whatever. Those are equally shitty

ReVanced Manager can remove shorts from the subscription feed on mobile, and SmartTubeNext does it on TV platforms.

I just block the element. If it pops up again, I block again.

On mobile shorts don't exist at all because I'll use ReVanced for the rest of my life.
