### Please describe the problem.
The [podcasts page](https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/downloading_podcasts/) mentions that you should be able to use `git annex importfeed` on youtube playlists, however, that doesn't seem to work (or I am using it incorrectly).

For example:

    » git annex importfeed --fast "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz8YL4HVC87X3tYVYOjOLzSasPwgUsMPT"
    (checking known urls...)
    importfeed https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz8YL4HVC87X3tYVYOjOLzSasPwgUsMPT
    /var/folders/kb/fplmcbhs4z52p4x59cqgm4kw0000gn/T/f     [  <=>                                                                                                              ] 460.08K  1.87MB/s   in 0.2s

      warning: bad feed content
    ok

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Enter a git annex repository
2. Attempt to import a youtube playlist feed (see command above) with `--fast`

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

    » git annex version
