Came here to post this exact idea. As a fan of many smaller creators I feel like I cannot follow any larger channels I'd watch if my favorites are offline because they'll effectively hide them to the point I might as well not follow the small channels. Sure there's the notifications but those are far from reliable. Hopefully someone is working on this although seeing it's been here since 2017 is disheartening.
