What is personalised notifications on youtube?

[TerraFirma69]

I've turned on 'personalised notifications' from several channels that were bugging with with too many shorts, hoping it may mean less of those notifications if I don't click on them. Seems that's not the case. What on Earth does 'personalised notifications' mean? There's zero attempt at any explanation when selecting it, and when searching relevant explanatory videos on YT there's nothing relevant or current either. What does it mean?

I'm thinking it has something to do with marketing and ads that you see

On YouTube, "Personalized" notification settings mean you'll receive notifications for some regular uploads, Shorts, and live streams, based on factors like your watch history and how often you interact with notifications, rather than for every upload.

Here's a breakdown of YouTube's notification settings:

• "All": You'll get notifications for all long-form uploads and live streams from a channel, and potentially some personalized notifications for Shorts.
  
  
• "Personalized": You'll receive notifications for some regular uploads, Shorts, and live streams, based on YouTube's algorithm which considers your watch history, how often you watch certain channels, how popular videos are, and how often you open notifications.
  
  
• "None": You won't receive any notifications from that channel.
  

How to manage your notification settings:

1. Go to the channel page or watch page .
   
   
2. If you're not subscribed, tap "Subscribe" .
   
   
3. Next to "Subscribe", tap the notification bell .
