Notifications And Subscribers (and other stuff)

I have the notification bell turned on for your channel on YouTube. I hope you feel better soon.

Michael Aichlmayr

That would be good - let me know what you find out. Many have suggested upgrading to Win Pro... I'm looking into all sensible options....

Fran Blanche

I don't have notifications turned on for any of my subscriptions because I check YouTube directly every day for new videos. But I do get emails from Patreon for new videos, and I usually watch them the same day. I also watch most of the videos for the channels I'm subscribed to.

To quote the Isley Brothers.. "It's your thing.. do what you wanna do." Love your videos. Hang in there. See you when you get back in the swing of things.

Fran, I hope you're ok and will bounce back. With YT, I always have the "bell" turned off as found it to be nothing but a barrage of emails. I use this bookmark on YT that shows me a simple, chronological list view of every subscribed channels uploads. "https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions?disable_polymer=1&flow=2"

@deactivated Notification: I have many subscriptions. Some, like yours, I watch regularly. *(incl. Patreon ;-) Obviously YouTube found a wonderful idiotic way to setup notification options: Either for all or for none:-) I have more than 150 subscriptions, many to acknowledge and support good work. However it often happens that I am occupied with a certain issue or subject for a limited time span. I wouldn't want to revoke the subscription after leaving the subject. I tried active notifications and it is impossible. Maybe all YouTube users should write to YouTube headquarters everyday "have a good day" mail, to give them a hint?

I have my notifications turned on! YouTube and Patreon :-) Get well soon Fran :-)

Just concentrate on getting well Fran. Better a longer sabbatical now, than losing you forever. My patronage will keep on rolling in.

This is one of the reasons why we in the UK don't want to lower our food standards to the US ones. We have far more information about what's in our food and where it came from. Not a dig at all you wonderful US citizens but at the powers that be.

I have yt notifications on but I ignore them completely. I only switched them on for most of my yt subs because I felt in the past that youtube did not show me all new videos on the subsrciptions page. That is really all I need and all I want: show me ALL new videos from people I subscribe to on my subscriptions page. Never mind a radical concept like an RSS feed! But somehow youtube felt that this simple concept needed an algorithm and screwed it up.

I'm not sure how I fit into your viewer metrics. I do not log into or subscribe to anything on youtube. I get notifications directly from patreon and view your videos here. I have a 4 year old so if I open youtube all i will see is videos of kids playing with toys.

I subscribe to 571 channels on youtube.. 4.. have the bell button enabled.. you are one of them.. I do check the subscribed section daily for the latest videos but.. yea.. The "PocketTube" youtube subscription manager addon for chrome does help a lot tho. But yea, I admit.. as far as notifications on email.. it gets to be just excessive pretty fast.

Windows 10: you can roll back to the previous build and select you want to stay there for the time being. The 1903 build for instant is scheduled to be updated with security updates until December 2021 I believe. Will check this for you tomorrow and send you how to roll back and how to stay there until the bugs in this most recent build is ironed out. I’d do it now but it’s really late here. But rest assured, it’s possible to fix that update problem. :)

Only have 4 subcriptions and only 2 Patreon You and Clive Love you both take your time get yourself well! Nice T shirt! Got some Burroughs nixie tubes No Nimo's as yet LOL I have all 4 notifacations On GET WELL DEAR! Have a great eve

If you are having trouble with numbness or tingling in hands please look into the chemicals in our food. "Excitotoxins the taste That Kills" is a good place to start. American food is loaded with flavors, flavor enhancers, MSG in a dozen forms...All play havoc with some human's nervous systems. I found out, quit eating anything with these neurotoxins...No Migraines any more, never get headaches! No more numbness or gripping problems. It is very hard to avoid these chemicals in our foods. If you see> MSG. Guanylates, Inosinates, Flavors, Natural Flavors, Hydrolyzed Protein, Autolyzed Yeast, Carageenan, etc. DO NOT BUY IT ... NEVER EAT RESTAURANT FOOD UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN IT !!! Love you and hope this helps

It's 11pm here in the UK and I've got work tomorrow, but I don't care because Fran just posted a video. That's the advantage of having notifications turned on.

David Peaker

I share the majority opinion. Take care of yourself FIRST. We can wait. Thanks for the update.

Carol K Stouffer

Hang in there ma'am. We'll still be here

Bob Holt

Keep at it. The (necessary) lockdown has disrupted everything including medical care, Elective surgery is sparse and hit-or miss, and beyond the reach of many.

YT and other media notifications are annoying, and I don't like them filling my inbox. I very much prefer to receive all my periodic media via a single, unified interface. I use RSS/Atom (presently via the SmartRSS browser plugin) to track all the YT channels, podcasts and blogs I follow. Which reserves my inbox for email I truly want to read, rather than what media companies want to send me. Edit: Just remembered that I *do* still receive all the notifications! But I automatically delete them before they reach my inbox.

Glad you dropped in, Fran. It's been awhile. Take good care of you.

No worries, take as long as you need! Having a healthy Fran is far more important than regular "shows". Be well.

You take care of whatever you need to. Get better, the rest of us can deal with it.

Rocco Rizzo

Hope you feel better soon. Take your time. Thanks for the update.
