Warnings

Some users you subscribe to on YouTube, tend to post new videos to their uploads daily. Each person you subscribe to has different methods. Be careful that your email doesn't overflow with videos. Keep track of the videos as they come in. Invest some time in creating separate folders that these emails can be sorted into as they arrive.
