RSS actually meant, mostly, that you had to have something worthy of RSS'ing ... a blog, an article, something.

Yes, RSS is far better than Twitter for some uses. Uses that are actually of value.

Exactly this! I really miss the time of the internet before social media, when it was more about quality content then clickbait articles. I was a heavy user of Google Reader until it got shut down, but couldn't find any worthy alternative, so I used Twitter as a news feed reader from then on. It's ok, but it's hard to ignore the noise sometimes.
