You don't even need an account, you can use an RSS reader on channel pages. I think that's how newpipe populates its feed.

Yes, but I'm talking about normies here. The kind that go "What the heck is a tee tee are ess? I just want to watch some cat videos!"

Newer channels need to have their channel page crawled once to get the actual URL for the RSS feed but older channels do not.
