What about the terrible clickbait headlines? When ever I have tried to integrate RSS it's been mind numbing to find real content.

This is the reason why I stopped using RSS (for news). When they shut down Google Reader I migrated to Feedly instead, but over time I started to unsubscribe from news sites as I didn’t get the content I wanted anymore. In the end I stopped using it altogether because I saw no use.

What about it? That's a general issue, on websites just like on feeds.
