I would like to start using RSS feeds but every client I’ve searched up has a subscription method of payment. Are there any RSS clients that don’t do this?
Feedly has an ad-sipported option.
The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don’t want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I’d like to avoid it if possible
Ideally for me I’d like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net
I use feeder (and apparently there’s more than one rss app called feeder), and it’s FOSS. I like it a lot. The one feature it doesn’t have is any filtering. I wish I could filter some feeds. My local news seems to be like 50% sports, and a lot of sites these days have half of the “articles” they put out just containing a list of Amazon affiliate links. It also doesn’t do audio of video, but I don’t use it for that
NetNewsWire has done me well on all my Apple things:
omnivore.app is wicked
Thunderbird has RSS feature AFAIK. KDE’s KMail as well.
