Items temporarily disappear from sub page due to distributed nature of YouTube. It has too much information and too many users to work in a traditional way. This is not an “algorithm”, it’s just a synchronisation issue. It happens on all huge platforms. People frequently “disappear” from your friend list on Facebook and then reappear a couple of days later.
YouTube added a bell to reduce synchronization issues. Bells are temporary notifications, not persistent data, so it is handled completely differently.
