YouTube is rolling out a new notification system that will mute push notifications from channels users have not interacted with in the past month. This decision comes after a trial earlier this year, aimed at reducing notification overload and preventing users from disabling notifications entirely. Users subscribed to channels with notifications set to 'all' will no longer receive alerts from creators they haven't engaged with recently. However, these notifications will still be available in the YouTube app's inbox, ensuring users can catch up on updates at their convenience. Notably, channels that upload infrequently will not be impacted by this change, allowing creators who post less frequently to maintain their audience reach. The effectiveness of this new protocol in encouraging user engagement while reducing clutter remains to be seen, particularly regarding whether notifications will resume automatically if users re-engage with a channel.
