I thought I covered this before, but seems only Jennifer Slegg did back in 2015 on her blog where she covered a video hangout where John Mueller said “if you are looking for a ranking boost by having an RSS feed, that’s not going to happen.” He added “there’s no direct ranking boost for the website itself” for having an RSS feed. The answer is 5:27 in to the video:
