Description
⚬ PROBLEM:
YouTube notifications often include a lot of live streams (LTT's WAN show, Skill Up's Friends Per Second podcast, etc.) which I never watch, and they merely clutter my notification feed.
⚬ SOLUTION:
Add an option to eliminate live streams (but not Premieres) from the notification feed.
⚬ ALTERNATIVES:
None ?
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
This wouldn't be a good default option, but I think some percentage (10-30% maybe?) of people would appreciate it (those who don't like podcasts, long format content, or live streams).
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
IMO there should be a whole new entry in the main menu dedicated to notification options.
⚬ CONTEXT:
None.

Research direction
Start by locating the notification feed and the main menu, which the issue identifies as the relevant entry points. Review how notification options are represented, then define the filter so live streams are excluded while Premieres remain; done means the setting is available and the notification feed reflects it.
