> Literally no effort

- you need to remember all the names

- you have to navigate through incomplatible interfaces to get a list of articles

- you have to remember the last one you've read to make sure you're not missing anything

- you can't easily sync check/reading status across your devices

- you waste time polling sites without updates

...

Even for a few blogs that's wasted effort vs. opening a single list and reading through it

And here lies the difference. I do not care if I read the same post again, as I only follow those creators that create something worth getting back to. I do not care if I visit their blog and do not find any new content, for their old content is good and worth rereading. I do not care about syncing, as I have only laptop and a phone, and tend to use the first one. I do not need to navigate through incompatible interfaces, as they all consists of text and hyperlinks. And I have no issue with remembering all the names, since there is like 5 of them.

So like I said, no effort.

If you think all that is no effort, following those same blogs on rss is like negative effort.

> difference. I do not care

That's indeed the only difference. Otherwise the wasted effort still exists
