Your call: hype or real?

Real = it will matter in daily use. Hype = louder than it is. One vote, and it can’t be changed.

Our view and readers’ views are opinions, not statements of fact about a product.

Why it matters

It changes the bottom-bar habit, and gives you a feed for what you actually want to watch.

For most people

Try it: describe what you want to watch in your own words.

The Subscriptions tab leaves the bottom bar and appears in the top bar after Home.
New dedicated feeds appear for Live, Music, and Movies & TV, the last only with active subscriptions.
Custom feeds are created by describing what you want in your own words, and appear as tabs on Home.
Free users can save up to 3 custom feeds, and YouTube Premium members up to 8.
Custom feeds start in English for signed-in viewers in the US, with more countries to follow.
