We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

It’s cool yeah. But not unenshittified. Many sites enshittify their own RSS feeds, demanding workarounds like caching, reformatting, or scraping, using tools like RSSHub.
You are very correct on how lots of sites have made RSS basically a method for just spamming you with crap. They just give a headline and link (not even a paragraph to know what the thing is about). But RSS itself still works the way it used to. It is the sites that enshittify the feeds.
Yep! I am hopelessly addicted to RSS. On a daily basis I probably use a thousand feeds minimum in some capacity
But you don’t even need the website to support rss, if they enshitified the official rss feed can’t you just paste in the url and bypass it?
Sadly, no. Look over the RSSHub docs to see the measures people take to scrape various websites and services such as Telegram or Twitter. Instagram is flat out impossible
