Like others I also used the RSS to email route, because my mail system has everything a RSS reader needs and then more.
It's at this point I realized I spent more time skimming over title and summaries and marking all entries as read than actually reading content that felt interesting. RSS is the ultimate form of information flood and it didn't bring as much value as it should have so I stopped completely and relied on "organic" link aggregators, namely HN and Reddit, because content is triaged by a community whose appeal to news I share.
Maybe I just wasn't subscribed to the correct feeds ? I saw a post a long time ago where RSS is not for feeds with multiple articles in a day or in a week, it's for those very low-volume little websites where authors publish one post per month but you still want to keep track of them. Maybe I should get into that again
