RSS Feed Generator

I am still new to privacy, please steer me. I see that many use RSS feeds to get their news. I was trying to use neuters as a front end to get my RSS feed started and cannot get it going.

Is a front-end even necessary for RSS feed? Does it help with tracking? Am I approaching my news aggregator the wrong way?

I tried searching RSS generator websites for neuters since I couldn't just load the webpage into the app, but many are paid or require accounts. I have steered away from that at the moment. I just assumed every website could enroll in RSS...I was completely wrong.

I wanted to set up with NetNewsWire on ios.

I am willing to go an entire new direction with the collective knowledge from this community.
