I personally have no problem with paying for a service. However, if I buy premium to remove the ads, YT has no longer the need to collect my data. But it is Google and they won’t stop collecting. That, plus the fact that Google basically has a monopoly with youtube are the reasons I don’t buy premium.

You also have IPFS. Is that what you mean? It is slowly becoming better and better.

I personally self host tt-rss on my freedombox. I use the web and android client. If you don’t want to self host, maybe you can use Feedly. I am not sure how privacy friendly that is if that is also a requirement.

I use an rss reader to follow like 50 websites. The main news sites are arstechnica, the verge, IGN, Polygon and many snaller websites that post less than once a week
