Yes, as much as I can. And I click through articles to reward sites that provide one. If a site doesn't provide one, I may hit an article or two, but I'm much more likely to just get a summary from social media.

Only started using it last year! (although programming since the 80s) Using RSSOwl, works well. It's been useful for blogs and youtube channels.

Yes, I came across this while browsing theoldreader.com/

I have way too many feeds that I don't really read, but I subscribe to.

Of course yes. Feedly to the rescue after Google Reader shut down.

I even build apps to read more: - https://f43.me to have full content in RSS feeds - https://bandito.re to have GitHub star repo’s release as feed

Yes, thats the primary way I consume web (including HN). If a website doesn't have an RSS feed (or feedly doesn't have it) then I don't care about that site.
