RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information
Completely agree. Like the parent poster, I never subscribe to newsletters and the sites that don't offer good ways to be updated of new content (e.g. RSS feeds) lose me as a visitor.
There are, however, a few email to rss tools, a quick search brings this one as the top reasult: https://github.com/leafac/kill-the-newsletter
Might be a good workaround in case the content on the site is worth it.

I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.
Fundamentally, that's not a problem with RSS, that's a war between scrapers and content providers. If the email newsletter model persists long enough, I'd expect that people will come out with "newsletter readers" that scrape websites too.
I'm not sure there's a good long-term solution to the problem. Aside from constant vigilance (obfuscation).
