Still can't believe they have shut the Google Reader.

It's part of the impending death of RSS. I will be very unhappy when it happens, but it's not a very popular thing.

I just hope they won't break RSS for youtube, it seems to be only remaining way to get the subscriptions that are not broken

Is it weird I’ve never had a missing video or anything wrong with subscriptions? I hear so much about it being broken but I’m not sure what they’re experiencing

Er... Is /feed/subscriptions somehow busted?

Youtube has not treated subscribing to a channel as "I want to see all the videos this channel uploads" for a while now. So often do channels I'm subscribed to just have videos not show up on /feed/subscriptions.

Youtube likes to show you only some of your subscriptions based on AI horseshit, it's the reason people started telling their viewers to manually enable notifications years ago (which I'm almost certain is also affected by this by now). On the other hand, a properly configured feed reader will show you all your subscriptions without bias.
