Notes from Slack:
summary of subscription discussion:

show the age of the content on the tile card (x time units old) similar to youtube
make sure there is a clear indicator of what's "new" - there is a number in parentheses next to subscriptions, I should easily be able to tell what this corresponds to after clicking
also make sure the badge number has consistent/understandable behavior
consider allowing sorting by both date and channel
consider extending the visual indicator for "you're subbed to this and haven't seen it" to be used throughout the entire app, not just the subscription area
show your subscription status in more places (most likely, show the heart on all file tiles next to the channel name if you are subbed, regardless of where they are rendered)
if we're emailing people about subscriptions, consider how and where we tell people this, as well as how they can disable this (most likely by linking them to the new email management page)

One more: support the competitionist use case, not just the "find interesting stuff" use-case. Subscriptions should facilitate me not missing a publish from my favorite creator if I want to use it that way.
