Great post! Indeed, social media platforms optimize for engagement and ad revenue, not user needs.
Feeds are a user right, not a publisher favor. In that spirit: I recently built RSSible - a tiny tool that lets you turn any webpage into an RSS feed via CSS selectors. I've built this for myself; already using it for HN, Product Hunt, tldr.tech, r/science, IMDb latest shows, RubyOnRemote, and many more.
It's still early, but if anyone here is curious to try or test, I'd love feedback. (You can see live demos on the site)
