YouTube is muting push notifications from channels you don't watch

"YouTube will no longer send out push notifications to mobile devices from creators that you haven't interacted with for one month, while notifications will still be available in your inbox."

"The change aims to prevent users from disabling notifications altogether, which could lead to lower platform usage and revenue for YouTube."

"Channels that upload infrequently will not have their notifications affected, which is beneficial for creators who produce long-form content."

"The one thing that's unclear is if you start watching a channel again that you have not interacted with in a while, is if YouTube will automatically restart related push notifications."

YouTube is implementing a change to its notification system by muting push notifications from channels that users have not engaged with for a month. This decision aims to prevent users from disabling notifications altogether, which could negatively impact platform usage and revenue. Notifications will still be accessible in the app's inbox. Channels that upload infrequently will not be affected, ensuring that creators of long-form content remain visible to their audience. The impact of re-engagement on notifications remains unclear.
