It's not a coincidence that most social media used to have RSS feeds in the past (Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit for example), but decided to remove them altogether by the time they decided to extinguish the competition, around the same time they restricted their API. Nowadays, the only way to fetch data from these sites is by using scrapers, and even those are being regularly thwarted for the same reasons why ad blockers are failing on the regular.
