I must add that I self-host FreshRSS to fetch news and GitHub repos updates so I can update my stuff, everything in-house, controlled by me.
RSS makes life so much easier, some only provide the bare minimal while others, provide the whole post so I can read everything right there without opening a website.
Also, some podcast support it so I have a list of podcast that I list and can go back without having to go from website to website.
One place to govern them all, RSS still king.
