To me, one of the most important features of RSS is not having to reskim over titles I've already dismissed. I don't even mind that most feeds don't have any content, the links are good enough for my needs.
I really wish AP and Reuters would bring back RSS, I'd no longer have any reason to open a site just to skim headlines. Some might argue that is the reason news sites stopped offering RSS, but I don't think it really lowers my engagement with a site, I very often click around after opening an item that caught my attention.
- k1m 6y agoIf you're okay with feeds generated from the home pages of those sites, the Feed Creator project I work on can generate feeds for them: * Reuters: https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/index.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2F&item=.story-content%2C+.story-title https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/index.php?url=https%3A%2F... * AP: https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/index.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapnews.com%2F&item=.CardHeadline%2C.RelatedStory&item_title=%2A%5Bclass%2A%3D%22headline%22%5D https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/index.php?url=https%3A%2F... Relying on the underlying HTML attributes of the page to generate the feed does make these feeds much more brittle, but it's one option when the sites choose to switch off their own feeds.
