Did YouTube kill their RSS feeds?

Note: It's working again

All of my YouTube subscriptions are suddenly broken. Did YouTube just change the URL format, or did they break/kill RSS feeds entirely? Anyone know what's going on?

For those who don't know, YouTube used to provide RSS feeds for videos at URLs like:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=%24channelId

It wouldn’t surprise me. Alphabet seems to hate syndication.

And they like to kill products/features. So if something isn't working on their systems, my first thought is always that they're killing it.

This (pbs space time) still up: ' https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCq6OAftTQOuUBRdtUDq5SUA '

Support may have broken for a particular kind, or that channel of yours may have been banned?

All of the feeds were broken, and none of the channels were banned. It started returning 404 pages around 06:00 UTC and was fixed around 09:00 UTC.
