Seriously, I’ve been preaching about RSS for decades. I subscribe to so many news feeds from sites all over the world. I always tell people how awesome it is to see 50 different spins on every news event that happens in the world. It gives me a real unique perspective on the world at large as opposed to getting my news from a few limited sources.
I use Feeder for everything. Blogs, websites, (formerly) subreddits, and YouTube channels. RSS for YouTube is bigly clutch. My feed is chronological, not filled with random crap, and ad free.
When reader was killed off it marked the beginning of clickbait articles and shitty news blogpost.
Before I could simply subscribe to my favorite website RSS feeds. After we had to rely on goddamn algorithms
Check out Feedly - it’s not Google Reader, but it’s also not terrible either.
Yeah, Feedly is great. Been using it for years and very happy with it.
It’s kind of a bummer that RSS never took off the way it deserved. It is kind of a precursor to what we have now with Fediverse/ActivityPub.

My nostalgia always tells me that GReader was better, but I’m using Feedly since and I’m happy with it.
I try to self-host a lot of stuff these days, and have become a big fan of FreshRSS. VERY Google Reader-like.
Yeah if I ever lose Feedly, I’ll likely have to go the same route
