Based on my own personal usage, it makes total sense that RSS feeds still get a surprising number of hits. I have a small collection of blogs that I follow and it's much easier to have them all loaded up in my RSS reader of choice than it is to regularly stop by each blog in my browser, especially for blogs that seldomly post (and are easy to forget about).

Readers come with some nice bonus features, too. All of them have style normalization for example and native reader apps support offline reading.

If only there were purpose-built open standards and client apps for other types of web content…

NetNewsWire is great on iOS and OS X. Use the share sheet to subscribe to blogs.

		This is what I use. It’s on macOS too and amazing on both. Super fast, focused, and efficient. It’s by far the best I’ve tried. Most other macOS readers aren’t memory managing their webviews properly which leads to really bad memory leaks when they’re open for long periods.
