> As others have stated, plenty of websites have RSS feeds.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag though - whilst some big websites still have an RSS feed, you can’t get the full article text, smaller blogs etc seem to be better in that regard.



Is that really a problem though? I usually want to read something on the original website anyway as RSS is a lot more limited (or at least inconsistent) in what kind of styling and media is supported. What I care about is getting notified of updates to sites/people I follow without having to rely on a centralized gatekepper and RSS does that really well.


There are RSS readers which can automatically download the full article text. I use Handy Reading on Android which can also do so on-demand.
