Can I sync my YouTube subscriptions with Inoreader?

Yes, with Pro. Connect YouTube in Preferences > Share, save, login, and Inoreader follows every channel you subscribe to on YouTube in a folder called YouTube subscriptions. It checks your subscriptions every 12 hours, follows new ones and unfollows the channels you've left on YouTube.

The sync schedule

Inoreader reads your subscriptions every 12 hours while you use the account, and weekly when you haven't been active for a month, so a change made on YouTube shows up within 12 hours. New subscriptions are followed into the sync folder. A channel you unsubscribe from on YouTube is unfollowed only when the sync added it. Channels you followed yourself stay. Synced channels count toward the Pro feed limit of 2,500, and the sync reads up to 2,500 subscriptions at a time.
