### Problem Description

When YouTube is having a RSS outage on the RSS feeds users are met with the following on our Subscription page

* Your subscribed channels currently does not have any videos
* Channels with errors

While technically correct it isnt very user friendly.

### Proposed Solution

Show the videos that were listed before refreshing the subscriptions and show a toast that mentions that fetching failed instead of the things listed above

### Alternatives Considered

None.

### Issue Labels
