This (probably correctly) assumes that the average user stays 'dumb' forever. The 'intelligent' user would understand the benefits of rss, demand them from their news outlets and be willing to pay, if necessary, an appropriate amount of money for it.
This will probably never happen but I maintain the view that if you want the web to become a better place you have to find ways to educate the (average) user.

He will happily chase whatever tech is fashionable to increase his perceived workforce market value. He is intelligent, but also cynical. His rationale in this and many other cases is "you shouldn't use it because people don't use it."
