Irrelevant Jun 12, 2023

The only time I ever actually subscribed to an RSS feed was when I was inexperienced and naive enough to work for Gengo. It didn't work anyway.
Other than that, I have no need to be constantly bothered by notifications. My email client is enough for my everyday work.

Not relevant to me Jun 12, 2023

I haven’t subscribed to portals or blogs that have frequent updates and I don’t get my news from digital sources. I prefer watching the news or reading newspapers…

Missing option Jun 12, 2023

I'm missing this option: I move on with my life.

What Samuel said. I only have the vaguest idea what RSS is, I have never used it in the past and I have no intention of doing so in the future.

If somebody offers something only via RSS, that's their mistake. There's plenty of other stuff out there.
