YouTube Will Stop Sending Email Notifications to Alert Channel Subscribers to New Content

This is a shame because email notification to channels i subbed to was the main way i got updates or new content.

I login in daily and look in my subscription tabs.

There I see all the new content, and spend my evening enjoying them.

After it is watched, a watched icon is place on the video.

If it was one I did not place into my FAV/like I usually then put on hide so I only see new content.

As one who did not use the email notification option, I will not miss it.

It all goes straight into my junk mail folder anyway. I just deleted 59,200+ emails the other day from one of my accounts (14 years of emails). I knew I’d never read them and I don’t want the possibility of anyone else reading them either.

I have deactivated getting mails from YT but activated the Browser Push Notification… but now they changed it so only like 3 videos per day per channel get notifications… I mean it’s not like I click the bell on a channel for a reason…

I got a bit miffed at having to log in to get notifications so I made a tool to allow me to get notified without ever needing to log in.

it downloads the page get the “i.ytimg.com/vi/” links then crc checks them and count the video links.

if links crc check changes then it alerts me and shows “has new video” yes and i can use tool to open it.

I certain/special channels I am sub’d to, I do have the notifications on.

So seeing that bell icon turn red with a number of notifications as about it for me.

i never had em enabled in the first place. There are enough sites drowning my inbox with junk mail. If and when I want to watch the tube I’ll go to the tube.

However what they seem to be annyonig me with recently, is that a lot of times there will be a notification icon next to a channel, like they posted new content, but I Go there and there is nothing new for days, WTH? Why are they trying to waste my time?

What I do is I put a bookmark that goes right to my subscriptions. Every day I instantly see what new things have been posted. Works like a charm and less email.

Eh, already have enough junk email. Don’t generally use email notifications for stuff like YouTube.
