I use RSS to watch YouTube videos. I collect the ULRs of the videos I want to watch in a text file using my feed reader (Newsboat). In the evening a script transfers the file to my TV computer and fetches the videos with yt-dlp.

To play the videos I use another script, which plays and then trashes the video files in a loop.

Pros: no ads, no buffering videos during playback, plays videos without interaction (like TV), can collect video URLs over day, don’t have to bother with YouTube’s user interface, cookies etc.

I have never used RSS until literally this week lol. I added the AWS health RSS. I have no idea how it works. Like, I get the idea but not how to practically use it.

• For my Mastodon feed, so I don’t have to open yet another app
• For my Youtube and Nebula subscriptions, same
• For a few FB pages & others that post events, same
• For my Lemmy feed, same
• For all my news feeds (curated, usually) for a quick look at everything
• For my friends’ posts so I know I won’t miss a single one

I currently use the premium plan for Inoreader. I like tinyRSS, just didn’t do it for me; I’ve been using RSS since Google Reader.
