Article on Techcrunch: "RSS is undead". First line: "RSS died"
I've become a lot more jaded about tech takes by tech magazines after Mastodon. RSS never died it's just not trendy enough that you hear people talk about it. Every WordPress blog on the net has an RSS feed. Every webcomic. Every news site. Including Techcrunch.
@Gargron I literally just read an article talking about how RSS has survived many RSS deaths in the mainstream (death of Google Reader being one of those)
@brandon The shutdown of Google Reader was super unforgiveable. Google Plus is dead af but Reader was an alive social network.
reader was the best thing google ever did, and they killed it because it defied their own monetization scheme. Can't adwords if people get everything they want served up without an ad-filled medium. Being able to share and comment and tag and collate feeds was technical perfection.
@Gargron I completely agree. I used it pretty much every day! Now I'm using IFTTT+Pocket
