Why, oh why, does YouTube include upcoming videos in RSS feeds? “This video premiers in 21 hours.” Oohhhhhhkay. I will long have forgotten about it by then, thank you very much.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, that’s a little bit annoying, but I just enqueue them, so I can download them at some later point in time.

I reckon nobody uses their own feeds, neither the channel operators nor the YT developers. The question is, are those videos available in the web UI, too? I never checked, actually. I just know that unlisted videos do also not appear in the feed either, which is a pitty.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org As far as I know, they’re still visible in the Web UI. Although, in the mobile app and youtube.com, I believe it tells you that the video isn’t available without having to click on it. They don’t tell you that in the RSS feed, and I agree; it gets annoying.

If we had a custom feed generator that hooks directly into the YouTube API, I’ll bet we could find that information and put “[Scheduled]” in the title for premieres and remove it when the video is available.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I probably should fix my feed proxy. At least update the entry with the known duration once actually published. Should also be easy to delay that entry until it’s eventually available.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm, that’s even weirder. Must have to do something with this silly “you must regularly publish a video or else our algorithm punishes you”.
