Why do you need RSS in modern times?

sometimes the feed aggregator will bypass the paywall for ya 👀

i also like that reading the articles in my feed reader doesn't give away any tracking information. can get the same info without visiting the source website at all. and when i do open links there's no source to show where i opened it from.

ultimately it's so much easier having most news sources in one place instead of subscribing to hella newsletters.
