Why not just use RSS?

You need to generate feeds to track topics across different sites, which opens up a whole new can of worms.

Take this aggregation as it is, generate RSS. Not sure where the night crawlers are hiding in this plan.

How do you generate RSS feeds for sites that do not expose native RSS endpoints (e.g., Twitter pages without Nitter or YouTube pages)? Additionally, how do you classify the extracted content into topics?

The generated feed just points to the articles. The destination doesn’t need to care about RSS.
Classifying is not the purview of RSS. Presumably, TopicRadar is already doing this classification.
