I still use it daily. I follow channels using their RSS feed instead of using the YouTube website, and when a new video is posted, I download it with youtube-dl (which is configured to send the video to /tmp) and watch.

For my use case, it still works fine. Once it stops working I can look for an alternative, I guess.

Following channels via RSS feed is what finally helped me stop endlessly scrolling YouTube looking for another video to watch. I seriously suggest switching to it if anyone hasn’t yet.

That's a pretty cool setup
