Well, you need to understand that Google knows what is good for you better than you do, you should just appreciate whatever choice is made for you.  You may not like it now, but you will learn to like it.

nvidia:
Are two of your friends underage and have they released that information to Goofle? If yes, YouTube is banned by law from spying on them: explanation from the company.

Time to write a script to poll the channel pages and give its own notifications on new videos?
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.

No need to. YouTube is unofficially still offering feeds:
Code: [Select]
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=$CHANNEL_ID
$CHANNEL_ID is the identifier you see in the URL to the channel e.g. in search results and in video description, not the channel name.

I even had the idea to make a separate service that controls subscriptions for users and send messages to e-mail  how to  in the past.
I consulted with friends and we decided that this service will be tortured by attacks to steal user logins.  |O

Obviously, it is not profitable for google to send messages - you will watch e-mail and many videos from the subscription will not be watched, because in the e-mail you will find that it is not interesting. Now you must open the update page every time.

This is life: a nice, easy, convenient Youtube was eaten by a monster, became fat and still decides how you are better.  :-//
And sorry for my English.

This was official just a few months ago. This was documented on the official google page. Not it seems to be gone. This is sad, I do use RSS for all my stuff.

And at some point they had an RSS feed of all your subscriptions. They removed that for no real reason other than wanting to make use of RSS as painful as possible.

It would be nice to have a third party service that would provide all in one subscription feed, so I don't have to subscribe to 200+ different feeds, some of which only update twice a year.

I am forced to construct the feed URLs like this for years. Perhaps that was somewhere in the docs, but they have removed the link itself from the website a long time ago.

There was one, years ago. I think they had to close due to financial problem. The problem with such a service is that it’s against YouTube’s financial interest. Whch means it will face problems as soon as a considerable number of people use it, in particular if it has any real income.

Oh yeah, that went away about the same time google reader did.

I would not mind even just a self-hosted tool of some sort that I can run on my own server. This way requests will be spread around and will not look suspicious.

I feel like google will just close the RSS things entirely at some point. This will probably force me to make such a tool using YT API. But before that they will have to deal with my RSS reader downloading 200+ RSS feeds every few minutes.

I would say that “every few minutes” sounds like a problem with the RSS reader configuration. Can’t you change that in settings to a few hours?

Why would I? I personally don't care if this generates a lot of traffic for YT. I would gladly download one combined feed every few minutes, but they clearly don't want me to do that.

Not that they care. All the traffic generated by those requests is probably lower than one video watched anyway.
