I use it for news aggregation with Nextcloud news. Also for podcasts and PeerTube channels. Anyone using RSS for other things?

    Youtube channels (I unsubscribed from everything on my YouTube account, hardly ever login, and only use RSS to follow the channels I want)

    This is the way to do it. I can’t stand youtube’s interface and its recommendations, auto play, and other anti-features frustrate me. I find that on youtube, when I go look at a channel, I often can’t figure out which video is the most recent, and really struggle to see figure out what I’ve watched and what I haven’t.

    Using RSS let’s me see when there is a new video posted just from the channels I am interested in. I don’t have to go hunting. FreshRSS will watch it through youtube-nocookie.com, but I often find using yt-dlp is better experience, especially for anything longer than 5 minutes.
