I'm plenty annoyed about RSS becoming steadily more difficult to use. I have to run an extension in Firefox to get an RSS icon in the address bar, which is just sad.

That said, I'm finding that for Substack, at least, RSS works just fine. You get the whole article, no fuss, and it works the way it should, it's just https://example.substack.com/feed.

I'm pleased to see Substack do most things right. I almost wonder if their pitch deck explicitly said "we will zig every time Medium zagged".
