I used to consume most of my stuff through RSS but RSS seems largely dead unfortunately. It provides me with a nice balance between tracking (lots of) things but being able to pull that in when needed and keep it separate from other mediums like email. Subscribing to mailing lists usually ends up to me adding filters that move them to a different folder that I check less. So for me, I subscribe to 3 or so newsletters…

Because that has been my experience?

Awesome, happy for you. I wish that was the case here. For most of my news sources (which aren't tech) no RSS feed exists. Same for a number of newsletters I'm interested in. They exist in plain HTML format but there's no RSS feed to speak of, not even of the archive.
However, I've recently ran into RSS-Bridge[1] which I'm hoping means that I'll be able to generate RSS feeds out of some stuff and get back to consuming most of my information that way.
