Why Use RSS 🔗I consume a lot of stuff on the Internet. A pretty incomplete list would include: Hacker News Mastodon & other social networks Assorted blogs and newsletters YouTube A number of these come with unwanted baggage, for example spam posts in blogs and newsletters, ads all over the shop and so on.
