Substack and Ghost both support RSS. Problem is no one uses it anymore. It also doesn’t provide an option for paid subscriptions.
Comment on Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost

Newsletters? Google killed RSS so we could have newsletters?

Google weirdly gets a lot of credit for killing things that are very much alive and well.

aren’t podcasts still RSS. I’m like 90% sure they are.

I’m following everyone from substack and every other damn resource on RSS. Nothing dead about it. Maybe someone is unhappy with their particular way of accessing it? I’ve used Feedly ever since Google ruined their own reader. Google abandoned a lot of things during that period of innovation.

RSS is the hero that saved us from Spotify (et at.) walling off podcasts behind their paywall.

I don’t think we’ve been saved just yet. Their market share is still growing and they don’t support importing RSS feeds. Nor do they support outgoing video feeds for RSS. And they continue to pay for exclusive partnerships.

Yes and ironically there are services like kill the newsletter that will re-RSS your tired ass newsletter.
But anyone cool that uses fulltext RSS gets an auto subscribe from me.
