You can still get an RSS feed for individual channels (not subscriptions though) with the following URL:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=[Channel ID here]

You can even subscribe to a particular playlist! (So, say someone produces many videos, but you only want the ones that they add to a particular playlist, you can do that.)

Yes, I wanted to use sfeed and they show how to get the good url in their config example [0].

With a simple for loop in bash, I added them to the list of my rss feeds. I had 50+ youtube channels and didn't want to make something complicated.
