RSS feeds do have ads. They don’t have much of them because they’re not popular, but if the tech were more used they’d have more…

RSS feeds are actually used quite a lot in the podcasting industry. And indeed, nothing guarantees that you won't get ads in those podcasts, because ad insertion is done server-side in a lot of cases, so the media URL in the RSS feed will be served with ads in it.

I even have ads in news site RSS (e.g. MacGeneration).

My RSS diet is 99% personal blogs. I can assure you there are no ADS. If I were to follow those same people on social media my timeline would be flooded by random ads. That’s the difference.
