YouTube removing email notifications T_T

[Majoe]

---------------------------------------------

Summary

Story first? 
I realized I miss Tech News. Why did I not watch Tech News for so long? ...I was asking. Went to the Social tab in my gmail and realized, last video upload notification from YT was 6 days ago. 
What a bummer. Lets troubleshoot! but nothing helped. I found a video of a man explaining. He linked a source, so Im inserting this to the sources. Video for lazy people, Googles source for readers.

TLDR: headline.

Heads up: If you’re opted in to get emails about new uploads, live streams, and premieres from channels you’re subscribed to, these emails are going away on August 13th, 2020

 

My thoughts

I would like to express my emotions rather than thoughts.. but im usually holding my carp together. 
Rather, what are we left with?

Smartphone notifications - which I hate.. its spam on my little handheld screen. I need important notifications. Entertainment belongs to PC for me. 

Windows notifications - which are clunky. I never read those. and I try to have as little mess there as possible. Differs at my work laptop from my PC of course. 

YouTube top right corner bell icon - which yes, leaves me with only notifications I have turned on for channels, but thumbnails are obsolete!! 
Thumbnails are obsolete all in all for me this way. 
I will never see a video thumbnail probably, since I am organized person, and I watch what I want. Not what is recommended. 

Your thoughts?

I never activate email notifications on my social media and forum accounts. Often times it will just result in my email being spammed after a week. And yes, it gets so bad that I can't even stand the volume of emails sent to the secondary address I use for these accounts.
