2: the ones that do either only offer the headline and then just a link to the web story, or if they give a full feed, inject ads into them, where you don’t have an adblocker to stop it
I spent the better part of a month trying to curate an awesome rss feed and in the end, it’s still so actively hostile that it renders it’s barely usable
Don’t get me wrong. I want rss to come back and be as usable as it was years ago. But it’s a shadow of what it used to be, and active hostile
I’m gonna have to disagree. It’s mostly the big social medias that don’t have them, (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) but other blogs and news sites usually do have them.
Agreeing with @LaggyKar@programming.dev I’ve managed to maintain a curated list of RSS content over the years, adding and removing as the mood suits. I’m not going to be silly enough to claim that ALL content is available via RSS, but majority of it is.

Depends on the content. But yeah, most news sites offer a headline and a paragraph or two in the feed. You need to click through to read the whole thing. How is this any different than a twitter post or a link on reddit?
I’d be curious to know what sites you’re subscribing to where you’re getting not just ads but unblockable ads injected into your feeds? I currently have 85 feeds in Feedly, with a wide mix of topics and I can’t remember ever seeing an ad injected into any of them.
Two major problems:
1: very very few sites offer an rss feed anymore
2: the ones that do either only offer the headline and then just a link to the web story, or if they give a full feed, inject ads into them, where you don’t have an adblocker to stop it
