It’s just a way to subscribe directly to content sources rather than subscribing to a creator’s social media account or a subreddit or something. So if there’s a blog you like and you use your RSS reader to subscribe to that blog, any new posts will be fed directly to your reader. Obviously, the benefit then is that you have a central portal with a direct connection to all of your selected content sources.

Great explanation. Thank you! I guess I will have to give them a shot.
As a starter reader, I recommend feedly. It’s easy to use, and has a phone app as well.
Some extra tips, with RSS you can subscribe to YouTube channels, and twitter too (the last one you can grab the feeds from nitter).
