YouTube Redesign Buries Subscriptions Behind 1 New Tab, Adding Swipe-Switching on Mobile

Summary
Subscriptions no longer sit where many mobile users expect them; the feed now appears under a new "Subs" tab placed near the top of the Home page.
That shift is paired with left-right swipe navigation between Home-page tabs, a gesture one user said triggers accidentally and makes switching feeds less reliable.
The redesign disrupts a common viewing routine built around checking subscription uploads, saving videos to Watch Later, and watching later on TV.
Frustration is compounded by weak recommendations on the main Home feed, leaving the update feeling less like discovery and more like added friction.
