I was wondering if there was any way I could grab all of the content creator’s channel (that I watch) rss feed from YouTube and make it into one html file to host it on my github pages. I can then go to my rss reader, I use YouTube music and AntennaPod. YouTube music for my iPhone and AntennaPod on android as a backup.

Just wondering if this was possible, but also, I remember seeing a reddit post (or stack overflow) not long ago, like a year ago. A user asked about this and youtube shut that down due to, and I’m taking a guess, its because of this may block ads preventing them from making profit.

    I’ve been on basically that exact same journey. I made a little iOS app that uses rss feeds and the iframe player to play videos: Unwatched for YouTube (just released it two weeks ago). It’s also open source, if you have any specific questions let me know.

        Thanks :) pe1uca summed it up pretty nicely. I‘d add that you can get all your channelIds (which you need for the rss feeds) by exporting your YouTube subscriptions via google takeaway. You can take a look at what the rss feed gives you, it’s as pe1uca said the 15 most recent videos and sadly not all the info: duration e.g. is missing.
