Do you subscribe to individual channel RSS feeds independently or do you have a way to get your subscription list as an RSS feed?

I've been needing to do something like this for a while.

I wrote a custom tool that automatically pulls in videos from channels I've "subscribed" to via RSS.

I suppose if I used RSS for anything else I could have just plugged those feeds into my RSS reader, but YouTube is the only thing I use it for.

Interesting, I always liked this approach. Let the tech company do the hard work of making a seamless UX (or one of the great open source alternatives) and then just syncing the subscriber list from them, instead of having to manually plug in and manage it all in a separate app.
