Question: I do remember the days of those RSS buttons everywhere. But I never managed to see the value in it.

I use ttRSS for feeds. I like the RSS feeds because I can get the information I desire without having to go to the site itself. Consuming RSS for me would be like, laying in bed in the evening before I retire for the night, and pulling up articles from my RSS reader, again, without having to hop around to different sites. The info is all there in one neat package.
