Would it be useful to have a site https://use-rss.example.com/?feed=https://thepcspy.com/feeds... which explained what RSS/Atom is, and suggested decent feed readers with instructions on how to set them up?

The idea would be that blog authors could link to that next to (or instead of) their RSS icon.

Such blogs could still include a link HTML tag for extension autodiscovery.

We've got some RSS tools at FiveFilters.org and we have something like this. Feed name and URL can be changed:

https://subscribe.fivefilters.org/?name=FiveFilters.org&url=...

It would be fantastic. Unfortunately all of the better ones I have found are reader-dependant.
