The time saved is the time not spent mindlessly scrolling through endless recommendations designed to keep me hooked.
Before that I always found YT frustrating and never cared about subscriptions because, and correct me if I'm wrong, the subscription system is disorganized. It doesn't make sense to me. I found myself having a hundred subscriptions that I didn't know how to follow in an organized manner.
With this extension now I've organized subscriptions into groups, which get integrated into the UI in the sidebar, and you can set notifications for whichever group you'd like. It has more features - like the "Deck" feature, where you add a few columns of either playlists/groups/channels. You can also view all the latest vids from each subscription group, or all your subscriptions and filter them by groups.
I'm quite happy that I suddenly noticed I had this pain point and quickly found the perfect solution. It's one of my favorite extensions.

It has easily saved me over 100 hours by preventing me from continuously scrolling through youtube recommendations.
