...truth?
Run your own yt-dlp frontend. Punchflat... or one of the many other solutions out there. Dump your subs to a folder and let Jellyfin turn them into individual shows with episodes.
I shouldn't have to do that!
Don't tell me. Tell Google, or... pay them, I guess. Your call. I'll be over here turning my lemons into lemonade. You do whatever you want with yours.
Can you tell me more about these yt-dlp frontends? I've been looking for one for a long time, but I haven't really found any. I was thinking of using mov-cli instead so I atleast have a search feature.
Look for YouTube webuis on docker.

Punchflat can dump YouTube channels on schedules in a way that Plex and Jellyfin can digest them as shows and put them up like any other show. You can auto-delete old episodes as they get old to keep your data low, or simply roll one or two month's of your subscriptions and barely keep anything.

Simpler and more like a gun you aim at urls and download them. More hands-on... Pinchflat is the only one I know that integrates with Plex and Jellyfin.
Did you just have a whole conversation with yourself? Lol at least give me a chance to respond.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I suspect common responses and prepare for them.
The "canned answer".
I appreciate why you're doing that and am just offering feedback you are welcome to ignore: it made me think you're a bit of a douche and I didn't feel like interacting with you much after that.
Oh, I am, good call.
