    How do you get youtibe channels over rss? That would be super helpful as youtibes recommendations constantly miss the mark for me.

      So the link is templated like this…

      www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<ChannelID>

      Getting the channelID is the worst part of the process. Let’s take Hacksmith Industries as an example though. You visit their page, https://www.youtube.com/@theHacksmith. Head over to the “About” tab. Then find the “Share” arrow. When you click that arrow you’ll get “Share Channel” and “Copy Channel ID”. Copy “Channel ID” will give you UCjgpFI5dU-D1-kh9H1muoxQ

      So the feed for Hacksmith Industries would be

      www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCjgpFI5dU-D1-kh9H1muoxQ
