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.

In UB popup when you click the extension, there’s a “color picker”/“eye dropper” icon, click that, click what you want gone and it’ll give you a preview. Click okay and poof, it’s gone.

If you want to undo, go to the full settings page, one of the tabs is user filters (or custom filters), and you’ll see everything you’ve blocked.
