About This Blog / Feed!
Hello Fediverse / Write.as Traveler,
If you are reading this message, then I (Nemes) have gotten off my butt and made this as a possible alternative to Youtube Subscriptions, Bell Notifications, and even youtube's rss functionality!
YouTube has RSS feeds?
Yes I’m as surprised as you are! For those that don’t know RSS is a protocol to be notified and receive updates from a site. It’s a really simple way to syndicate (heh) content to followers. As an example, below is the RSS feed for the Nemes Content Channel.
Youtube channel’s RSS:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=“UCCnep562d6A4eKeOy-J5xxQ”
(Remove the quotations)
If YouTube has this, then why make a separate blog to do the same thing?
This blog is made in light of social media sites imploding, such as Twitter and Reddit, taking away features and API support. It’s totally possible that to maximize revenue, Youtube will remove RSS support or at least suppress it somehow. This serves as nice back up plan just in case something like that was to happen.
In the future, I’ll be looking into other video streaming options, and hopefully even self host to ideally not solely rely on YouTube.
That being said! If you want to check out my stuff, channel is provided
