I’ll start:

    Feedly is a pretty user friendly reader (but not open source, unfortunately).

    All feed readers aggregate the results in one page if you want.

    Most websites provide a feed (even YouTube channels), but it’s often hidden under the surface. You can inspect the page source, or you can pass the URL of the website to feedly (it’s usually able to find it for you).

    The cool thing about RSS is that it’s open. If you don’t want to use a particular reader anymore, you can export your feeds as an opml file and import it in another reader. You’re not locked in.

    • Feedly rings a bell, I think I used to use it at some point. I don’t recall why I switched. I’ve been using Inoreader for some years, which does what I want well enough.
