minus-squarehorsesaysweird@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-21 day ago I also noticed the youtube rss feeds are returning 404s now as well. They are still working for me. Example: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC5rT7F0PGNuD54rJ9kzgWzw EDIT: This is the command I use to convert YouTube channel URLs into RSS URLs: curl --silent "https://www.youtube.com/@thecodyreeder" \ | grep -Po '"rssUrl"\s*:\s*"[^"]+"' \ | cut -d : -f 2- | tr -d \"
minus-squarenotptr@lemmy.cyberia9.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoYeah they work sometimes. I tried to add a new channel to my rss reader and I got a 404. My existing feeds still work but sometimes stop to.

Opening a YouTube URL always feels like I’m installing an app.
