A good platform should support both email and RSS, and give users the choice.

(Postcard, which I discuss in the submitted post, does support both.)

Yep! You can think of email as a version of RSS that regular people actually know how to use ;)

Except email for news is a waste of resources, it is a push which fills bandwidth and inboxes regardless of if the bytes are read.

RSS is pull, it only fetches the data if it’s needed.

And rarely do I see people using an inbox correctly, they’ll have 1000+ unread messages and have missed something important.
