Yes, I know how to find my subscriptions, that's how I know the channels I like are dying; they are posting "my channel is dying videos" and only a subset of their users are finding them.

They have lists of channels by similarity. That one is the list for the Y Combinator channel. You can look up a different channel in the search bar on top of the page.
I've definitely found a bunch of new channels through it, like Yannic Kilcher and pretty much the whole AI section of YouTube. Despite watching stuff like Robert Miles and Lex Fridman YouTube never showed me the depth of the AI section on its own. After I found it the YouTube algorithm started showing me videos in the new areas I was discovering which brought even more content.

The solution is to go to your subscription feed. This also wasn't a few months ago. This changed many years ago. I remember hating having to put the subscriptions page in my list of URLs because it was harder to go there. Previously there was a section of the YT home page for your latest subscription uploads, I think? I don't remember exactly.
You also need to actively watch content from your subscribed channels in order to get their videos recommended to you. I have a ton of channels I'm subscribed to but not all of them show up in my recommendations because I don't watch their content enough.
I feel that's actually better because there are channels I'm subscribed to that I don't watch all of their content, e.g. conference channels, but I do want to occasionally see if they uploaded anything I want to watch. Channels I actively watch frequently have their newest uploads pop up in my recommendations almost immediately.

It is, and I presume so is everyone's. I wasn't asking for help, I was explaining a bunch of problems I'm seeing.
> This also wasn't a few months ago.
No, something seriously changed a few months ago. 5 different channels are all suddenly have the same problem where their views are all down to 50% or less without explanation.
I don't know if that's "fair" or not, but it's how I keep the subscription page useful.
