I've always just gone to the youtube channel page, view source, search for "rss", copy the URL and paste it into my feed reader. It would be great if it was more discoverable, but it's not really like you need a whole separate tool.

Most of the rss readers I know allow that. What OP built there is something that stays in sync with your subscriptions, so when you add or remove one it is automatically added or removed from you reader and do not need manual intervention

This approach works, and it's a great way to subscribe to public channels without a YouTube account. The main reason I'm not doing it is that I want to subscribe via YouTube.

Oh, hopefully there's a browser extension that detects feeds on a page and lights up and provides a menu. Shame that the YouTube mobile app isn't similarly extensible.

If you have a feed reader system there is no need to subscribe in the first place. You’ve obviated that system.
