Description of the changes in your PR

This PR introduces a delay between every BATCH_SIZE=50 channel extractions while loading the feed, to avoid YouTube rate limits and hopefully solve #11661. The delay varies in range DELAY_BETWEEN_BATCHES_MILLIS=(6000..12000) (on average 8s). I also lowered PARALLEL_EXTRACTIONS from 6 to 3, as suggested by AudricV. The value of BATCH_SIZE was chosen because people reported problems starting from ~100 subscriptions, so 50 should be safe.

Before/After Screenshots/Screen Record

In this video BATCH_SIZE=10 and DELAY_BETWEEN_BATCHES_MILLIS=(2000..8000) for demonstration purposes.

I tested it on my phone with BATCH_SIZE=10 and the number of subscriptions did not always increase by exactly 10, indicating that non-YouTube channels do not count towards the throttling.
