I’ve had it sent to my work email account in outlook for the past 15 years now from various websites. It’s just way easier to click through email in the morning for 5 minutes for the 5 or so sites I would visit then to actually go there and navigate. I also have a few others that send when applications update which tells me the version and changelog.
I have never seen anyone else use this but if people see me using it and ask they think it’s useful.
As others have said, I don’t visit news websites because it’s more important to be first than correct or even in the ballpark, and with many readers I get to choose what I’m reading with blacklist words or even regex.
sometimes the feed aggregator will bypass the paywall for ya 👀
i also like that reading the articles in my feed reader doesn't give away any tracking information. can get the same info without visiting the source website at all. and when i do open links there's no source to show where i opened it from.
ultimately it's so much easier having most news sources in one place instead of subscribing to hella newsletters.
Social media is shit, and will always be shit, because the people who make social platforms are petty authoritarians bent on punishing the world because they didn't get enough pussy in high school. It is not a substitute for a well-curated collection of RSS feeds.
The answer to your question. There are news channels that are only on social networks. Or bloggers who publish insider information about new equipment. As far as I know, you can’t do without scraping on the server if you want to receive news from social networks.
Except for off-the-shelf solutions like Nitter instants.

And you're better off ignoring them. Corporate news channels are nothing but advertising and propaganda.

Not to be pedantic, but web scraping and port scanning aren't the same. If you had mentioned scraping before I'd have been content to say that sites that make you scrape instead of providing RSS feeds are run by assholes.
