I’ve used RSS since before Google Reader, even used a paid Windows app that I can’t remember the name of (edit: It was Nick Bradbury’s FeedDemon, later sold to NewsGator). After GReader died, I tried out most of the new bunch, didn’t like most of them and ended up using NewsBlur till 2018. Then the prices were changed because apparently it’s expensive to run, but as I never needed all their advanced features (it is selfhostable but involved, because advanced features!), I canceled and switched to hosting TT-RSS myself, later switched to FreshRSS which I’m using until today.
There is very little worthwhile on the internet that does not have feeds. Most of the time you can just paste a website’s URL in your reader, and it will autodiscover the feeds available.
