What do you mean by "browsing" Youtube? Clicking new links for the purpose of entertainment?

My post was only about playing videos.

Well, how do you get to the videos? How do you discover their links to pipe to mpv/yt-dl?

One option is RSS (YouTube still supports it) subscribing to channels. Do you know of others?
