I found an rss feed aggregator that can keep up with your youtube subscriptions without you having to log in.

zippcast is really slow, right now. I wonder if they are having larger server loads than normal?

It's my website and I'm only in high school and the only one coding it so if you want to, you could check it out. It's functional right now and I'm looking for some feedback. Thanks.
I sent a review via email.

Regarding youtube Channel Complaints. I know you guys think this is a "Small group of complainers." But let me point out that not everyone who hates these channels are going to come here or even know that it exists. Ontop of that, many who are posting here are probably long term users who have been using youtube for a very long time.
the mass "Hate this channel" videos are a huge indication of its complete lack of success.
In ending, this much hate doesn't come because the minority is complaining, this much hate comes from a majority. NOT a minority.
You have been losing so many users, or having them check for an alternative website ( hence zipp**** recent issue with mass server load ) Do you really want to lose your customers for a grayed out theme?
This is no illusion devised by a small group of malcontents.
Open your eyes and try to be more understanding.

PS: Did we mention how much we dislike these new channels, and how we want the old ones back?

Good idea, except:
#1. Anonymous does not care about youtube.
#2. Google owns YouTube and has a perfect right to ruin it as they see fit. It is not a dictatorship. It is the equivalent of you staying at someone's house for free and them telling you to take your clothes off while you are inside. It is uncomfortable to be there, but you are free to leave.
I agree that they are ruining the service and that we need to find a way to get their attention. That is why I started THIS forum.
If you agree, please direct anyone you know (who cares) to this forum, so we can find an appropriate method that respects the rights of all parties involved.
thanks.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for coming to the Forum and letting us know what you think of YouTube’s new design. We’ve made a lot of changes to YouTube over the last week and appreciate the feedback you’ve shared with us about these changes. We are confident that, with your suggestions, this new design will improve your YouTube experience in the long run.
Over the past week, we’ve been reading all of your feedback and are working to incorporate many of your suggestions into the new YouTube design. We always do our best to build YouTube in a way that meets your needs.
We’ve been in an ongoing discussion with the team since launch, and want to provide you with an update to address what we’ve noticed and what we’re working on.
Hot Topics:
- X to Remove Videos From Your Homepage Feed
We recognize that consuming videos of Channels you follow and discovering new valuable content is an integral part of the YouTube experience.
We are currently experimenting with various ways to make it easier to keep track of what you’ve watched, and give you easier access to control the content you see from the channels you subscribe to. Over the next month, we will be working on delivering a better homepage feed experience while keeping a close eye on feedback and tracking activity around how features are used.
- Too Much Scrolling
You’ve made it clear that the new homepage layout can be a lot to scroll through, especially for those of you with a ton of subscriptions. To help you keep track of your new subscriptions and recent activity updates we’ve improved the subscriptions management page, which lets you control which subscriptions show by default in the left column (under “Subscriptions”).
With the subscriptions management page and upcoming improvements to the homepage feed (as mentioned above), we think you’ll enjoy the new homepage.
- Centered Design
Though the look and feel of the site has changed, the width of YouTube is actually no different from the previous version of the site and won’t be changing.
As mentioned above, we’re exploring improvements for the homepage feed that we hope will make this new design better and easier to scan.
2011-12-08
- Grey Background
The new background serves as a more subtle backdrop for the other elements on the page - the video, the thumbnail, the search results and related videos - and puts these elements front and center for a better viewing experience. For example, when you hover your mouse over a video preview, a white tile will emerge that will allow you to better focus on the content of that preview.
In more text-heavy areas of the site, we may be able to improve contrast for ease of readability and are currently exploring some improvements.
- Clicked Videos Links
All videos links you’ve clicked should turn dark violet blue so you can differentiate between videos you’ve watched and those you haven’t. We are making this consistent throughout the site to limit confusion.
- Recommended Video Area
Last, but certainly not least, we understand that it can be frustrating if you’re not able to remove content from your homepage (especially if you’ve already watched a video, the video is repeated, or you don’t want to see activity updates from a particular user).
Again, we hear you, and we’ll be working on improving the site based on your feedback.
What’s next?
We’ve taken your feedback to heart, and over the coming weeks the design & engineering teams will be looking at data around how the community uses the new site design as we figure out how to continue to improve on the new YouTube.
In particular, the team will be focusing on ways to enable you to better sort and control the content that appears on your homepage, and give you more context explaining why certain content appears on your homepage.
Please continue to let us know your thoughts. Your experiences are important to us and we want to know what you love, and how site changes impact how you use YouTube.
Stay tuned as we continue to build on these new features. As always, we welcome your feedback and questions.
Thanks!
Kendall & the rest of the YouTube team

Here is a page with about 40 video sites. I don't know about quality, but surely we can agree on one for a possible transition. If we all move to the same one, it will send a clearer message.

How to get the old youtube back. / Unsubscribe to all your channels.

YouTube is apparently keeping track of subscription numbers. If we all bookmark, then unsubscribe from everything, maybe it will get through to them.
