I have to say - I actually like this.

Imagine if you go to Google.com to do a web search, and it is a page full of recommendations on sites to visit. Would you want that?

View on HN

The difference is that I'm subscribed to a variety of channels on YouTube. Yes, I do want to see their videos on the front page. That's what the Subscriptions page is doing anyway.

Yes, but what algorithm will it use to show videos from the channels you're subscribed to? Will you and everyone else agree with that choice of algorithm? The only one that makes sense is chronological. Anything else leads to similar problems as in the past.

Yes, why not? Chronological is infinitely better than a blank homepage.

I agree, but most people do not. A quite common complaint of Mastodon - even here on HN - is that chronological makes discovery difficult.

I find it hard to believe anyone prefers "no results" to "chronological results".

You know what makes discovery difficult? A blank page
