Why would people want this? How else do you find videos to watch?
I am subscribed to over 100 channels, ranging from daily uploads to 1 video every few months. Frankly I don't need more stuff to watch. When I do want to find something new, it's either a recommendation from a friend, something I saw on a different social media, or something I searched for myself deliberately.
This change isn't a good thing, it's Google trying to pressure more people into giving up more data, but the "threat" of them removing their algorithmically recommended content from my feed is not a threat at all, it's a bonus if anything.
