Full-text RSS is the best thing since sliced bread
This week, The Verge launched their subscription offering. For $7 (USD) a month or $50 (USD) a year, subscribers get access to all articles, including the newsletters and less ads. The best part of this offering is more subtle; full-text RSS feeds[1]. In a feed reader, there are no ads, and you can read the articles in whichever style you like. Furthermore, all your articles come to you in one chronological feed, so there is no need to hop between all your favourite websites. Even better, with the full-text available to your RSS reader, you can easily save the article to your favourite read-it-later app. You get complete control, support the journalism you value, and move the needle away from a web focused on advertising and algorithms. This is the future we should be pushing for.
