SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem YouTube has started recommending random notifications from my feed as "important".
Solution A setting to hide these notifications as they get in the way of an otherwise manually curate able feed.
Alternatives Ignore them and scroll past to see your actual notifications feed.
Scope From what I can tell based on Reddit when i searched for this, its only been rolled out to some users just recently. I am absolutely certain that nobody that uses the manually curated notifications feed would want this feature, but YouTube also lets you set it to work like A home page for mostly the channels you subscribe to as well so I'm not sure how many people will use this.
Side effects I cant imagine anyone not wanting the option to disable this feature.
Context This may not stay A permanent feature as its still being rolled out in stages and possibly still being evaluated. For as frustrating as I find it, it may be worth waiting to see if it continues to exist for a while and see if its bothering even more users. I only found A single Reddit thread on the topic from just this last week with people annoyed they cant disable this, so it may be worth waiting to see if more users complain before putting the effort of implementing A feature.
