Man, why can't we just use RSS as it was intended?
What purpose do RSS feeds have in a world of news feeds?
What are you talking about rss is not killed off, ask the feedly team rss is still alive and well. Point me to any site and I will show you their rss feed. The reality is most sites aggregate their content using twitter, rss, facebook.. so they are encouraging you to aggregate it in the same way. Really we have an issue with that.
Amount of websites that offer RSS != Amount of users who still use RSS
Many sites around the web don't publish RSS anymore, and browsers have removed the default RSS readers.
I've personally no problem in consuming RSS.It's more about the visitors to my websites. It used to be enough to embed a feed and people would subscribe. These days there's so little in-browser glue that you either have to know what to do with it, or... or what?The point here is to try to work out how people stay up to date with individual websites.I wrote this after posting here, might explain better than this little comment. <a href="https://thepcspy.com/
rss is alive and well! why did you stop using it?
Does it really matter? No RSS consumers here?
Perhaps RSS wasn't built for the average user.
Rumours of the RSS demise are exaggerated. Just put a notice for your RSS users to encourage them to use Feedly or something like that.
