I would like to start using RSS feeds but every client I've searched up has a subscription method of payment. Are there any RSS clients that don't do this?

The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don't want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I'd like to avoid it if possible

Ideally for me I'd like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net

Not all subscriptions are bad though. Some features genuinely have a cost behind them. Inoreader has a feature that lets me create feeds for websites that don’t have an rss feed. To me, that’s worth the price.
