When should I be concerned whether or not a provider comes with a newsreader?

No, tbh I'd be a little concerned if it did IMO

The provider is kinda like the ISP you connect to for the internet

Your newsreader is like your web browser

You can choose each independently

Got it, so if I were to subscribe to a provider, and use a couple of other indexers, and plug those into the sabnzb, I would have zero use for a newsreader?

Sabnzbd is your newsreader in that setup.
