You can actually get RSS feeds for YouTube: emacs users like myself who consume YouTube via elfeed have been doing it like so: " rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id= Or " rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= More info here: https://joshrollinswrites.com/help-desk-head-desk/20200611/ It really helps to break away from the addictive properties of YouTube's…
Related (maybe) but tangential, does anyone know of a good web to text converter? Back in the day you used to just use Lynx, is that still the way or has it been surpassed?

The playlist feed will only show the first 15 videos.

Wow... I wrote my own WebSub receiver and put it on an always-on server to get around the fact that I assumed YouTube doesn't have RSS from the fact that I couldn't find this information anywhere.
It's crazy how rare it's become to see an RSS link on websites that actually have it if you add /feed or /feed.xml to the url. I have to wonder how much more dead RSS would be if Wordpress (like, 90% of blogs/news sites) didn't create a /feed by default.
Helps discover rss feeds for sites.

Check this out: Puts an RSS/Atom subscribe button back in URL bar. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/ Helps discover rss feeds for sites.
The screenshot of the RSS icon in the url bar brings back a memory I don't know if I had. Didn't Firefox used to do this by default or am I misremembering?

I tried to tackle this issue in a more general way, so i wrote rss proxy [0], that analyzes the dom structure and derives feed candidates from it. Feel free to try the demo [1] [0] https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy/ [1] https://rssproxy.migor.org/

RSSBox used to have Facebook support (but only for public pages, no personal content), but when Facebook started cordoning off their API two years ago, I had to turn it off since I was unable to get my application approved. The code is still there, but I am doubtful it would work even if you manage to get an API key that works. I think the best option may be to scrape the web content now, unfortunately.
I have assumed for a while the only way to convert FB -> RSS would be to scrape the home page, but from what I recall the HTML & DOM is all kinds of messed up - intentionally obfuscated to prevent adblocking. From a quick look just now it does seem like it would be a nightmare to try to parse it as-is - and I would guess FB changes a lot of the output regularly anyway to defeat adblockers, making efforts to keep up p…

There's an open source service that does something similar, does anyone remember its name? edit : Both rssbox in the OP, and RSS-bridge[1] are open source. I was thinking of the latter. There's also RSSHub[2]. [1] https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge [2] https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub
