Just deleted my Facebook account in about two weeks ago and started consuming news through RSS and through Podcasts and some YouTube channels (which are also, surprisingly, RSS). I've never felt better. This might be a stretch, but this has been a good alternative to the way I was consuming online media, indeed less useless info seems to be reaching me. However, it all depends on the material you're subscribing to.

Podcasts are RSS too. Possibly the only application of RSS that became and stayed popular.

YouTube is very friendly towards the RSS readers from my experience.

... iff you can find the Feed URL. It always boils down to pasting together URL parts and the channel ID, which isn't exactly friendly.

It is a pain - I've found 3 formats for users, channels and playlists:

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=<user name from url>

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=<id from url>

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<id from url>

I wonder if there are more?

Sorry for the repeated post, but if you have an account, you can subscribe to the channel and then get an OPML file with all the feeds from the Subscriptions Manager page.

One quick way to do that is by using NewPipe Android app. It has an RSS feed button. Plus, you get a lightweight YouTube frontend.

Was. They had a search term RSS feed which was very powerful and they removed it a few years ago. I'm still pissed.

You could do Facebook over RSS at one time. Requires more effort to rig it all up on your part.
