i have been using rss to get all my tech news (other than here perhaps) for over a decade.

however since past at least 5 years, many tech sites have implemented "dark patterns" to hinder the experience and to nudge you to open their website. the "click here to read more" or just giving the summary outright does not help with the goal of having a feed.

i get that in today's age, where everyone wants to gatekeep their "content", it is an easy way to scrape data (i truly hope this does not become a trend). at the same time, it is so cheap to maintain that even static site running on solar can manage it (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/feeds)
