Youtube's RSS feeds suck

tweakmonkey · 01-27-2008, 09:29 AM

The problem: pick a category you like on Youtube from the menu to the left here: YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Then click "RSS this page" under the category menu and you'll notice it gives you a feed for all videos, so even if you're looking for cars or computers, you'll see crap like "Ellen DeGeneres Show - I Will Survive (Karaoke)" and "cuttest cat - isn't that cat the cuttest thing ever owwww.."

NO THE CAT IS NOT THE CUTTEST THING EVER, I WANT TO WATCH RACE CARS!

As far as I can tell, it's impossible to subscribe to these categories. Am I just not seeing the option? The categories are a lot more general than specific tags, which you can get feeds for...

The feeds I want are "top rated" and "most viewed" in the cars category for the day. Maybe I can make a Yahoo Pipes feed for it.

	Until now,never!before in Earth history, has mass extinction involved a choice. Stewardship is not optional. Get out of the box, then recycle it.
