RSS readers are immensely helpful to also interact with image (such as web comics) and video (Youtube channels) feeds. Alas, a terminal interface is a decisively bad choice for that.

Terminal seems like an odd choice for a platform to read on, considering the fixed-width characters.

You don't need to stay completely in the terminal interface. I use newsboat. I have configured it such that if I want to open any media links like that, one keystroke opens them in a new firefox window on top of everything. One can also use something like mpv or imagemagick if firefox feels too "heavy."
