RSS is one thing I have yet to dive into. There are videos that I want to watch and channels that I want to be subscribed to but I’m disliking the constant monitoring if activity online.
Cirfsnglh on travel with AirBNBs and the smart TVs with logins feels so weird knowing what others are up to, and I don’t feel comfortable adding my recents to their lists.
At work, on macos, I use rssbot - which isn’t an RSS reader but just an … uhm … rss linker? It doesn’t feature the capability to read content but just gives you a list of links to anything new. If that’s enough for you, it’s a great app.
Back when blogs were a bigger thing, they would be setup with RSS to “push out” notifications when new posts were published. (Technically your RSS client pulls the RSS feeds but the end result is the same - the feed is just a list of posts basically).
You open up your RSS client or site and there will be a list of sites you’re “following” and any new posts they’ve made.
Plenty of sites still support RSS. A lot of readers can pull the RSS feed automatically if you just give them the site URL/web address.
My personal choice is NewsBlur which is at https://NewsBlur.com. You can get a free account there to try it out.

Feedly is great, use it for my private RSS stuff.

I have never understood what RSS is or how to access it even after looking it up

I’m still bitter about bloglines shutting down. I tried thisoldreader and inoreader but it never felt the same. Then I found reddit.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
