Tip: Videos in your rss reader

What I Found

YouTube does not make RSS feeds obvious, but you can still add a YouTube channel to Feedly or another RSS reader by.

I practically live in an RSS reader. If I am already checking my feeds for the day, it makes sense to have new YouTube videos show up there too instead of jumping between YouTube, websites, and apps.

If you have an older-style YouTube user URL, you can turn it into an RSS feed by adding `rss/` before `user` and adding `/feed.rss` after the username.
