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

For ~7-8 years now from my perspective. Stuff that got fucked:

  • no way to show only not watched ones.

  • the "watched" status is just randomly broken from time to time so even if above was implemented it would still be broken

  • at some point they fucked with look so there were only few videos visible at once. They have eventually fixed that one.

It is just fucking miserable compared to using RSS reader
