What's the point on hosting RSS reader's? - eviltoast

This is a honest question. I have two RSS services hosted on my server, and I don’t see the point. RSS is by nature distributed, and subscribing to my own server just makes the source of all news being the same. What is the advantage? What do people use it for?

    I have a self hosted freshRSS but I still just use the Feeder app 99.9% of the time. I guess I just keep Fresh as a backup in case the Feeder app ever goes down.
