I like having a newsletter. Goes into my email inbox after signing up my email addtess. Doesn't need a separate app. Doesn't rely on a corporate who might kill my preferred RSS reader. Etc. I liked RSS in its heyday and used Google Reader to aggregate my feeds but that's long gone now.
- trekz 3y agoSelf-hosted, open source options are out there for RSS readers, like Tiny RSS or Inoreader if you want a nice replacement for Google Reader. Email relies on a separate app to read them though (email client). With RSS, I like that I dont have to give up my email address that can get hacked or stolen. It's one of the reasons we have so much spam in our emails. Also like companies like openrss and rss.app that are making RSS useful and cool again.
- krick 3y agoHuh? It's the same as saying RSS doesn't rely on corporations that might kill your preferred email client. Both are true in a way, but RSS reader is as user-end, as an email client, all you need to read RSS feeds is a browser extension.
