What sort of RSS feed aggregator do you use? It seems like a really useful system I might want to try.

I use RSS a lot too. It's particularly useful for things that update only sporadically, like a personal blog or a slow-running webcomic. The updates show up in the RSS reader, and so you don't have to spend time checking low-traffic sites (or abandon them). You can also use RSS to get updates from youTube channels if you want, without needing an account.

I use theoldreader.com as my RSS reader. But I'm thinking that I might just switch to using Thunderbird instead at some point. I'm happy with theoldreader, but I figure that if Thunderbird works just as well, then that might be better for reducing information leakage. (Which isn't a big deal in this case, but it's just a good general principle to minimise it.)

It’s fantastic. I use a free website called Feedly. Sign up for an account then browse categories you like and add them. You can also subscribe to RSS feeds you find elsewhere, and all your subscriptions can be exported to a file that can be pulled into any other reader if you want try new RSS readers. Highly recommend!
