Including the timestamp and uploader (channel name) in name of the file makes it easier to find the required video easily.

In my optinion its better to allow user to specify the filename format himself - YoutubeDL library allows that. I've created a pull request #8 where you can specify output template that gets passed to youtube-dl.
Example use is:

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl-subscriptions --output "/home/user/yt/%(timestamp)s-%(uploader)s-%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s"

You can read more about formatting output in youtube-dl docs.
