    Am I the only person to find it easier just to go to the site than reading hacked-up versions in some archaic email-wannabe dedicated client?

    I have never understood the appeal of RSS.

      Sounds like you tried one bad feed. All the sites on my feed render perfectly fine.

      AP, NPR, Political Wire, Al Jazeera, Ars Technical to name just a few.

      The sites can be full of cookie popups, slower rendering, ads, etc.

    Feeder on my phone is my go-to source of information about the things I’m interested in on a daily basis. That and The Guardian is all I need.

    RSS is a nice idea. Unfortunately too many websites want you to use email “newsletters” instead.

    Even Ghost has no mechanism to add an RSS link. You have to inspect the page code or use a dedicated extension.

    Couldbt keep reading. The comma splices and run-on sentences were breaking my brain. I’m sorry.

      RSS/Atom can contain a summary, or it can be the full article. It’s the choice of the website what to put in it. They only put a summary to force you to visit their webpage to serve ads.

      I think the use of the word “enabling” is correct.

      Many RSS readers will scrape the entire contents from the website

        But that’s not the purpose of RSS, it’s an extra of the client.
