YouTube page contains HTML link to RSS feed in channel page, and most RSS clients should just pick it up just fine.
By the way I maintain a list of feeds, many of them are youtube in link below, so if you would like to find a channel you can use it

>When visiting a YouTube channel, there's no link to follow it in a feed reader, no "add feed" button, nothing. There is literally a bell which you can set it so all videos get sent to your notification feed. >But when that mission starts bleeding into the feeds of users who don't want it, it becomes a big problem. Most people love shorts. It had extremely fast growth and continues to get a ton of engagement. Not wan…
I've been having some success by configuring my RSS reader with simple rules, like "please don't tell me about shorts" and "I don't care if this person is live right now." Too bad the real homepage shows three enormous thumbnails and pretty much exclusively the things I want to not see.
> Nobody asked for shorts in their feed This has been a big issue for me. I currently use RSS exclusively to view the YouTube channels that I'm subscribed to -- currently about 75 channels (and 27 nebula channels) -- and over half of my YouTube feeds are filled with several shorts (sometimes multiple ones by the same creator per day). Looking for hashtags in the title and marking those videos as read is essentially m…
Out of curiosity, are you filtering out shorts because of YouTube's terrible Shorts UI, or solely because of shorts' content quality?
I've already seen the full video, I don't want to see clips of it again.
Also 90% of my RSS reading is done on a desktop/laptop and it feels "wrong" to watch 30 second vertical shorts on a 32" display :D
youtube had rss feeds? i built scrapers for nothing lol
I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution. Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B... Replace the `channel_id` with `playlist_id` and replace `UC` with `UULF`. This prefix will only list normal videos: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSG...

Thanks, I guess I can get rid of my cron task that marks shorts as read in Nextcloud News. How did you find out?
