Problem Description

Many, if not most of the recommended videos in the "Up Next" tab are from popular channels, news platforms, etc. that some users have no interest in, particularly those users who only watch videos from channels they are subscribed to.

Proposed Solution

Add an option to automatically hide recommended videos from channels that the user isn't subscribed to, while still having recommendations from the user's subscriptions.

Just to be clear you are aware that this would mean that you would see a lot less recommended videos overall, the hidden videos would not be replaced by ones from your subscribed channels?

I figured that would be the case, yes. The idea was just to make it a little more convenient for users to pick out the videos from channels they actually watch, but admittedly it's a very minor thing either way.

+1 to this.

Although, it might be better to sort all non subscribed videos to the bottom of the list instead of hiding them completely. Just a thought.
