PC Gamer Recommends RSS Readers in a 37MB Article That Just Keeps Downloading — Stuart Breckenridge

No sense of irony.

I'm trying to migrate to 100% RSS right now, to avoid the hateful algorithmic editorialization of modern social media.

And I'm shocked that almost no paid media provides full articles in RSS anymore, and force me to navigate their 37MB pages with popups all over the place. Has anyone found a solution against that ?

Edit : Sorry I'm asking specifically about paywalled stuff

Reader mode + ad blocker

Further: configure reader mode as the default for the sites you’re most commonly linked to.

Disable Javascript or use Lynx, Links or Dillo to open the articles from your newsreader. Some pages won't work obviously, you remove those from your feed.

Maybe not considered a solution, but: print.
