Scumfucks. I started using the RSS feeds for every channel I follow and never looked back. Now I've written a little local program to check those feeds, throw new video URLs at yt-dlp, and I barely even go on the actual site any more. I'm sure they'll take away RSS at some point though
Does your yt-dlp work over VPN? I feel like if I don't have a residential IP I can't watch YouTube at all, let alone use yt-dlp.
Seem to tempban ips via login gating after a dozen or so downloads.
Would like to hear recommendations from users here on apps that do this or similar automation here. Would be nice to get off of YouTube, at least for subscription stuff. I'll have to start bookmarking videos in playlists or something too at some point, probably.
Newpipe on Android and if you want sponsor block, Tubular (fork of Newpipe with sponsor block). It doesn't try to anonymize you like invidious but I found invidious was too unreliable for how much i watch. Plus multiple users on my IP.
Newpipe and tubular have both been dead for me for a week or so :(
New update is out for that, 0.28.2 :)
invidious nadeko instance was down for a few days too but it is back
Have you tried Pipepipe? It works for me.

I haven't yet! Tha ks for the recco
I have Pinchflat running on my home server. I use it for downloading audio of videos I want to listen to while driving to work.

I just re-set-up Pipeline in Linux. I'll probably still end up using the YouTube website since it's more convenient still. Pipeline imports your subscriptions feed and displays a grid like the official UI, but it doesn't currently support having multiple tabs or windows open.
