Subscribe to YouTube channels w/out Google Account?

[AMTYVLE]

So I deleted my entire Google/Gmail account a few months ago because of all the privacy issues with Google. The only thing I miss is on YouTube, all my channels I subscribed to. Now that I no longer have a Google account I obviously can't subscribe to channels. Is there anyway to get around this, preferably in the iOS YouTube app?

I searched past threads on this topic, but they were a few years old. Any recent suggestions would be appreciated...

Hmmm rss feed subscription? Don‘t know if that works, just an idea!

Bookmark everyone's channel, keep them in a dedicated bookmark folder and then "open all" to quickly check them for new videos? Honestly, I'd probably create a new Google account and only use it for YouTube. I get wanting to cut the Google cord but having it for YouTube is just so convenient.
