I subscribe, set my bookmark to go straight to the subs page so I don't miss anything. No need to "ring the bell" if your feed is only people you subscribed to. Once in a while, I'll go to the home page to see if anything interesting is recommended.

I use Unlock Origin to manually block all the junk in the feed - "shorts", "YT premium content", "trending now" etc.

I know it's terrible for privacy.
