That's what I used twitter for tbh. Since everyone is on it it's easy to follow people, get instant updates and maybe even discover something new through the people you follow and their likes. It's really a shame it went to shit, it was the lurkers perfect tool, especially when it comes to artists or content creators.
Not everyone is on twitter, but lots (all?) of Content Management Systems and blogs have a RSS feed.
As an academic, I'm syndicated to several labs and research groups which have their own websites, but don't care about being visible on Twitter.
There are not as many as before, but not as few as you might think. A lot of them are hidden these days (you have to inspect the page source), but they are still there.
Readers like feedly are able to find them if you just provide the URL to the website.
