I stopped using the YouTube site long ago. I only subscribe via Feedly/RSS and watch the videos I want directly with 99% no ads even without an adblocker via the embeded video player.
- alexbeloi 8y agoWhere do the creators you follow host their videos?
- hundchenkatze 8y agoNot op, but op may be using the Youtube Subscription RSS feed. Go to https://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager https://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager and scroll to the bottom. You should see a section labeled "Export to RSS readers".
- Arnavion 8y agoOh wow, how have I never noticed that. In fact there are individual channel feeds (https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<> https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<>) and this is a wrapper around that. That's great! I currently receive email notifications for subscriptions, but I've noticed I don't always get emails for all the uploads of some of those channels. A direct RSS feed should solve that problem too.
- samschooler 8y agoThey're all still on YouTube, but I just subscribe to the YouTube rss feed. Also since they don't get ad revenue, I pay ~$15/month to assorted creators.
- JetSpiegel 8y agoYou can also use a local podcatcher like gPodder to automatically download the videos.
