Protip: Youtube channels have RSS feeds, they're just buried in the source of the page. Ctrl-U and then Ctrl-F title="RSS"

I guess to get actual value from these videos you will still need to visit youtube.com though, in the end giving them valuable data to analyze.

Yeah but the goal here is to escape the algorithm deciding what you consume

[-] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

good point, organic sharing is better than the addictive algorithm.

If I try to watch over a tor exit node (using tor anonymization technology). It shows me this message. They really want to know my IP-Address?

I can recommend yt-dlp

You can also just drop the youtube channel link (ex. https://www.youtube.com/@LinusTechTips ) as well into most readers and it'll sort it out for you, so you don't even have to go digging.

I wrote my own rss reader for youtubue, so it does this digging for me when I paste in a channel link :)
