All I'm saying is that this appears to be an extremely niche use case, and OP's line about YouTube not wanting you to find things from channels you love is over the top. They have a very specific requirement that YouTube hadn't addressed, that's very different than YouTube being designed to prevent you from finding subscriptions.

I don’t think so. Youtube is search, explore and usage hostile for many years. Not sure how one can miss that. “Which channels have new videos” is not niche. They even have it (a blue dot), but either fail to sort or intentionally sort channels seemingly randomly. I’ve missed videos from rare channels too due to this “mechanic”.
