// vc=56 — fast subscription feed via YouTube's per-channel RSS endpoint. // // YouTube serves `https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxxx` // — small Atom XML, no auth, no JS, no InnerTube round-trip. Replaces the // per-channel `channel_info()` page-scrape that was costing ~500ms each // (the bottleneck behind NewPipe's "pull to refresh takes 30 seconds for // 50 subs" UX). Fan-out 50× concurrent via `futures::stream::buffer_unordered` // turns a 50-sub refresh from ~5-8s parallel-12 to ~1s parallel-50. // // RSS is intentionally lossy — it returns title/url/published/thumbnail // only. No duration, no view count, no shorts/age/paid flags.
