Can't get a .csv of my subscriptions from Youtube (self.newpipe)

After following the instructions provided by NewPipe to download my subscriptions list for import, I get a .zip file with nothing but an HTML file within. No data related to subscriptions at all. If I opt to download an export containing all my Youtube data, then I get a couple of folders for History and another data subset but nothing for subscriptions.

I thought at first this may have been an issue related to the private status of my subscriptions list on my Youtube account, but even after toggling privacy off for my subs, I still cannot get a .zip from Youtube containing a .csv of my subscriptions.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I thought they took that option away. When I was transferring my subscriptions over to an RSS reader, I had to go to the source code of every subscription page and get the url from the page source. I whipped up a quick bash script so it wasn't too bad, but still. Would have been nice to just get the list.

Ugh that's so annoying. Super inconvenient barrier to entry. :/ Doesn't mean I'm not gonna do it though. lol
