I wrote a quick bash script to one-click the rss feeds out the page source. I’m surprised most rss readers don’t do that automatically, it’s not an involved algorithm to pick that out.

I was able to write a quick hacky one liner to parse the source and paste the rssUrl into my reader. It didn’t take as long as I was expecting to get the 30-40 channels into my rss reader. I think my previous issue was the rss reader I was using didn’t like something about the format. RSS Guard didn’t have an issue with it. Thanks.

Edit: I can’t believe I didn’t do this earlier. newsboat has Vim keybindings and the interface reminds me a lot of mutt. Clear videos through mpv with zero ads. I’m in heaven right now. I haven’t looked at RSS in at least a decade.

If only youtube sill offered a RSS feed from all my subscriptions. It’s so annoying that I can’t figure out how to get it.

I watch youtube, I mean, who doesn’t? But there is nothing on there, no creater, no content, that would stop me from going cold turkey with the site if they are actually able to pull it off.

That’s fair. I’m new, so take what I have to say with a huge grain of salt. I’ve just been subscribing to all the technology@<whatever> that I see and hope to catch most posts. If they get so big that they start duplicating and annoying amount of material, I figure I’ll just cut back from whichever ones seem to have the least value. Least value for me.

I thought it was kind of funky at first. But I do like the idea that if one of them turns into some reddit-like hellhole, there will most likely be something similar on another instance. It doesn’t take much to subscribe to multiple similar subs.
