The biggest limitations to RSS is are discoverability and adoption.

For all the awful shit that the algorithm does, it also sometimes suggests other things I might like (note: this small benefit does not outweigh the price)

The other thing holding RSS back is that not enough creators actually use it.

Discoverability is definitely the biggest issue.

In terms of use, you can easily use RSS for any YouTube channel (at least with invidious) (peertube also works and odysee as well). Also there is a lot of journals using RSS and fediverse also uses a lot RSS (thankfully, I use it all the time)
