Am I the only person to find it easier just to go to the site than reading hacked-up versions in some archaic email-wannabe dedicated client?

I have never understood the appeal of RSS.

Sounds like you tried one bad feed. All the sites on my feed render perfectly fine.

AP, NPR, Political Wire, Al Jazeera, Ars Technical to name just a few.

The sites can be full of cookie popups, slower rendering, ads, etc.

I have tried all sorts of RSS feeds. All the same painful to navigate through a painful, outdated email-like interface that makes it vastly inferior to, you know, scrolling through a website.

FFS, RSS people must have grown up on being desk jockeys stuck in Outlook all day and they don't know how to navigate anything else.
