TIL: Youtube actually has the RSS feature to subscribe Youtube channnel,but hidden

First you need https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id , and just paste the channel ID after it,that's the link for RSS.

To get channel ID: visit the channel you wanna subscribe,then click more to view the full profile,scroll down and click share channel ,there will be a option Copy channel ID

I found it from a blog post from Taiwanese,his example: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCVXstWyJeO6No3jYELxYrjg

Back before I had a YouTube account, and before Firefox nuked its RSS features, I used to just have all the RSS feeds of channels I wanted to keep up with, in a folder on my bookmarks toolbar.

Glad I could return to that

WOW,I met FLOSS stuffs nearly 5~6 years ago and starting using Firefox and its variants,never heard that was officially supported by FF,it's been so long,before my beginning.

There's a Firefox extension called Livemarks that restores Firefox's old RSS features. I started using it recently and I'm super happy with it!

What I using now is Liferea,I looked the Debian wiki of RSS and picked it.(I'm not familiar with terminal) I installed Livemarks then give it a try,simple and awesome.Thanks for sharing :)
