I love RSS and hope this brings it back into the mainstream.

Another article on the front page is about the Amish and carefully evaluating how tech fits into your life and values, and who it serves.

Applying that here -- RSS does serve those who want to get updates from a site, and does not serve advertisers and cookie-traffickers. RSS is peak "good old days" of the Web.

Yeah, there's some sites that have killed their RSS feeds, and feeds can be tough to find (though there's browser extensions that fix that issue), but most major news organizations, blogging platforms, etc, support RSS. And for those that don't (including Twitter, Instagram, Github, etc), RSS Bridge can often fill the gap:

In short: RSS is my frontend to the web, and it's fantastic!
