Is RSS enough to post news to social media?
No. RSS can tell a tool a story is live. It cannot write the right TikTok caption, push breaking news immediately, or keep an editor in charge.
How much time does it take to post to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook yourself?
About 30–40 minutes per story if you do it carefully — two to five hours a week for most independent journalists. The apps are free. The hours are not.
