Describe the bug

RSS feed loading seems borked.

At first a few channels were listed as "channels with errors", now it's all of them.

Newpipe is also having issues with RSS mode so it's entirely possible google disabled RSS entirely or made a huge change.

I also am unable to use normal mode because I have a lot of channels and it forces RSS mode.

Expected Behavior

It has a non-RSS mode that works for many channels, or RSS loading actually works.

YouTube is currently having a RSS outage on the RSS feeds. To workaround the errors, make sure that RSS is disabled in the subscription settings and split your subscriptions up into profiles with less than 125 channels in each.

ah thanks, didn't think it'd be possible to do that!

Any ideas why they have those outages? It seems like it has been almost a daily occurrence from around 6:00 - 8:00 GMT for the past 2 - 3 months...

Nobody knows besides Google. They are clearly testing something and I assume this something is going to be something with the laws that are gonna come into place.
