We used to have "Manage Subscriptions" features for organizing YouTube channels into collections and groups a few years ago. However, YouTube has disabled these features. If you did not use YouTube prior to 2015, you are unfamiliar with the concept. So what used to happen is: Suppose you have subscripted to 100 youtube channels, and you have categorized them into collections/groups. So that you can go to your favorite collection and see their content. However, YouTube removed these features on purpose in order to give new content creators exposure. So, on the YouTube homepage these days, you'll see some random videos and some subscribed channel videos.
Youtube does not allow you to follow those channels that you are already following. So, the more time you spend on youtube you will similar new content based on your interest and some others as well.
