But yeah, this is irritating. So much wasted space and it appears to be uncustomizable. And I really don’t care about what Youtube suggests I watch, and wish it wouldn’t take up half the screen.

I pretty much leave mine set on the subscription tab because that’s really all I care about. Sometimes I check out the recommended if I have some time to kill. But I have enough subscriptions that I’m usually pretty busy just watching those vids.
