RSS Is Cool

Wednesday October 4, 2023

I truly can’t believe it took me so long to discover and start using RSS feeds. I think when I first discovered them I was mostly using social media still and I didn’t really see a point, but now that I am a grown social media hating man, I’ve realized how great it is.

When I was in highschool I only ever associated it with podcasts, but that should’ve been my hint that RSS feeds are sick. I currently use it to follow a few blogs, the YouTube channels that I actually give a shit about, and some bands on Twitter. For me it’s kind of like social media but with all the shitty fat trimmed off. If your primary reason for staying on some social media platform that you don’t even like is to get “news”, look into just setting up an RSS reader. You won’t miss anything.

I think anything that delivers the stuff that you actually want to look at instead of forcing you to sift through endless clickbait garbage is a good thing. Give it a try if you haven’t already.
