If you inspect the page code in your browser for the YouTube channel you want to add to your rss feed, the rss link is still there. Just control + f and search for rss. I still use rss to manage my YouTube content.
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.
I use Miniflux and I’ve actually had luck just putting the channel url like youtube[.]com/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE and the rss feed populates from there!
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.
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.

It’s in there if you inspect the source of the page.
Alternatively, feedly is able to detect and parse it, you only have to provide it the URL to the channel.
If you then don’t want to use feedly, you can export your subscriptions as a opml file, and import them in another reader.
A bit of a convoluted solution, if you don’t want to inspect the source.
