The web is bearable with RSS
RSS is also a huge thing for accessibility, flashing adverts, cookie banners, auto playing videos, large images and bundles and bundles and bundles and bundles and bundles of unnecessary JavaScript can all be put to one side and the true value in the words written come to the fore.
If I were king, I would mandate RSS feeds on all news/date ordered content based sites.
As Crampton points out, much of the web (including some of the cruftiest, most enshittified websites) publish full-text RSS feeds, meaning that you can read their articles right there in your RSS reader, with no ads, no popups, no nag-screens asking you to sign up for a newsletter, verify your age, or submit to their terms of service.
It’s almost impossible to overstate how superior RSS is to the median web page. Imagine if the newsletters you followed were rendered with black, clear type on a plain white background (rather than the sadistically infinitesimal, greyed-out type that designers favor thanks to the unkillable urban legend that black type on a white screen causes eye-strain). Imagine reading the web without popups, without ads, without nag screens. Imagine reading the web without interruptors or “keep reading” links.
