How about making the subs page how it was in the last layout? Have everything as is but filtered by uploader. At least in my case it's what I miss the most about the last layout, since I mostly come back to this site because of the channels I subscribed to, and I really liked the last layout because of how neatly the videos were organized by showing 4 uploads per row and having the rest hidden with a "see more" button to see everything else.

I won't lie, I do use the recommended videos somewhat regularly and I've found good contents a few times, and that's another reason why I loved having the last interface in the homepage, to see both my subs and the recommended videos in the same place, but applying the concept of the interface in the last layout to the subs page would appease some of the anger in the community.

And just one last thing, I know you guys that work as staff don't really have a lot of time to spare and come here to respond to every single comment on the threads, but leaving a thread without someone from YT answering for weeks is not a good thing either because it makes people feel as if they're talking to a wall, so you guys should try to be more active in these threads so the people commenting can see that their opinions are being taken into account, this trying to reply to some comments a few times a week.
