While we are here, is there a service that provides me with list of newly uploaded youtube videos? In my mother tongue (south indian language), I have many interesting channels but youtube does not surface them by default. I just want to go through the list and write an algorithm to filter them out based on mypreferences.

Is there somebody who scrapes them youtube and sells the data

Does the subscribe feature do what you are looking for?
Subscribe does not help me in discovering new channels on topics I want.
Subscribing doesn't show all videos, but only those that youtube thinks you may be interested in. If I get overwhelmed with content I can unsub to channels I no longer watch. Instead some sit in my subs list for years with regular uploads and never showing up in my sub list.
You can still use https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={CHANNEL... to pull up the RSS feed for a channel.
I use NewPipe on Android and it has an option to show a chronological list of all new videos from all channels I'm subscribed to.
