First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

Logged into youtube today and discovered that the subscription page is absolutely fucked now. It only shows three thumbnails per row on my 13" laptop screen and they’ve removed the separation by date, so now it’s way harder to tell if any of my subscriptions have uploaded today. Seems like everything is going down the shitter.
Youtube would really hate it if there were alternative frontends called Piped and Invidious that showed you nothing but the videos you searched for without algorithms and tracking!
Niiice! I give it 3 weeks before youtube shuts down its API tho 😂
Invidious doesn’t use the YouTube API, but they’re coming after them now
It’s the same with YouTube Premium. They really push you hard to the “Home” page instead of your own subscriptions. You’d think that paying for the service would make a difference…

It’s almost as if you can create an RSS feed for any channel by using https://youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=[ID_HERE] and finding a website online to find a channel’s ID from their @ handle.
or you can just copy paste the channel url directly into your feed reader. most feed readers will autodetect the feed
