It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

    very very few sites offer an rss feed anymore

    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.

    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

    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.
