Not to be rude, but I don't think I've seen the term "RSS" in over ten years. I'm sure there's probably a niche group of people that still use them (maybe disproportionally higher amongst HN users), but I think OP can be forgiven for not including one.

Which is the advantage of technologically boring WordPress blogs: They get them by default without the author ever having to worry.

I kind of feel like you're missing out then.

I was pretty young when RSS was "popular" and didn't really get into it back then. I started using it in the past couple of years, and I find it's one of the best ways to keep up to date with multiple things I want to follow (without being tied to a specific platform).

I would also be pretty surprised if you haven't heard of podcasts in over ten years. I feel like a "podcast" isn't really a podcast if it doesn't have an RSS feed.

My point wasn't whether or not I like RSS feeds - it was to explain why OP can be forgiven for not wanting to put the effort in creating one. I'm sure they're wonderful.
