Protip: Youtube channels have RSS feeds, they're just buried in the source of the page. Ctrl-U and then Ctrl-F title="RSS"
Yeah but the goal here is to escape the algorithm deciding what you consume
You can play YouTube videos in VLC player
Maybe try one of the downloaders
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 :)
TIL. Gonna have to test this out my FreshRSS feed. Ty 🥰
