    The same as what many have said (blogs, news sites), but my best use case is YouTube! Deleted my account and get my subscriptions through RSS. The best part is it’s actually much more reliable than the YouTube sub box, which is notorious for randomly not sending notifications or not showing new videos.

    I’ve recently started using RSS, and I love it.

    General news, tech news, release notes of certain apps I use, peertube uploads of channels I like, notifications about limited-time free games, and all of that in one place.

    Pretty cool if you ask me

    I’ve been using RSS daily for more than a decade. Looking at the stats, I’m subscribed to 342 feeds, but 131 of these haven’t been updated in at least a year, and 100 feed URLs are no longer reachable. So it’s more accurate to say I’m actively subscribed to 111 feeds.

    It’s a mix of blogs, a bunch of podcasts, some curated news and also some YouTube channels.

    RSS feeds are my main way of staying up to date. I mainly subscribe to blogs and tech news sites. I’m also subscribed to my local subreddit so I don’t miss out on local events even though I don’t use Reddit otherwise.

    I was using Feedly for years after Google Reader shut down, but they started doing stuff I don’t like (E.g you can’t subscribe to reddit RSS feeds any longer, you have to sign in to reddit and set up some link between them). So I switched to Miniflux a few months back.
