No. I'm just trying to buy some RSS software. This should not require an account.

Oh good, finally. Wait; this is browser-based? Why the fuck would this be browser-based? I'm not looking for a website or a plugin, I'm looking for software!

Feeder is a FOSS local RSS client for Android, there’s no options to create an account, so I don’t know what you’re on about.
If you’re looking for a good desktop RSS client, I use Fluent Reader which is also local, FOSS, and doesn’t need any accounts. It does use Electron, which I know ticks some people off but IMO an RSS client is a pretty acceptable use-case for it.
