Protip: Youtube channels have RSS feeds, they're just buried in the source of the page. Ctrl-U and then Ctrl-F title="RSS"

I guess to get actual value from these videos you will still need to visit youtube.com though, in the end giving them valuable data to analyze.

You can play YouTube videos in VLC player

If I try to watch over a tor exit node (using tor anonymization technology). It shows me this message. They really want to know my IP-Address?

It's in order if you only use the subscriptions tab too

A couple weeks ago I did a poll and it turns out almost 25% of the people who "watch YT daily or almost daily" don't know about the subscriptions tab.

It's so weird, but explains so many people claiming to not see new uploads. They only use the home page and never the actual subscriptions

Interesting, whenever I see the home page videos my soul dies a little. Couldn't handle that regularly

The home page is fine for me, it's dialed pretty well into my tastes. I always click the don't reccommend channel or video if I don't like a recommendation.

The Trending tab, on the other hand... Yikes.
