aggregators

They gather feeds

Aggregators are services or platforms that collect content from multiple sources and present it in one place.

News aggregators pull headlines from various publications; price aggregators compare costs across retailers; social media aggregators compile posts from different networks.

The term implies gathering without creating: I get most of my news through aggregators rather than visiting individual sites.

In technical contexts, aggregators may also refer to software components that combine data streams or signals.
