Discovering RSS as a way to follow websites and channels.

Apparently, we had this for years and it somehow fell out of favor. RSS is a simple file on a web server that lists a sites latest posts and can be read by an app to follow the site for new posts. Today, you can use this to follow individual YT channels, web comics, blogs including SpaceHey blogs believe it or not, and pretty much anything that serves RSS feeds. You just need a reader to occasionally check feeds and view posts and you can centralize feeds from all your sites into one place. The current reader I am using is a browser extension called Feedbro.

Right now, I decided to follow PennyArcade and xkcd but I hope to find a way to aggregate all my YouTube subscriptions. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't have dynamic OPML for syncing your subscriptions with your reader so I will need to follow each channel individually or find a way to export my subscriptions and turn that into a OPML file.
