I'm trying to reduce #YouTube time, which for me means using an RSS reader to check my favorite channels rather than going to YouTube directly. By doing this I reduce distractions (and #RSS is glorious anyway).
I used to be able to just put the channel URL into #NetNewsWire and it would pick it up, but that doesn't seem to work now. I found instructions for how to use Command-F to find the channel ID in the page source, but that didn't work either. I've tried a few other things (adding /feeds/video.xml to the URL) and no luck.
In another weird twist: I already have some YouTube channel feeds in my reader. They're updating normally. But if I copy that feed's url and put it into my browser window? It says YouTube can't find the feed. What the heck?
Has anyone had recent luck following YouTube channels with RSS?
@hollie My RSS reader didn't throw any errors from youtube feeds today, so they may be back.
@madewokherd Bah. I’m just this close to letting it go completely. It’s all so manipulative, and I’m valuing the content less and less anyway. Especially as it becomes clear that so many people are using AI to write their scripts.
