I think the OPs point is that there are very valuable first-party sources of information with RSS feeds that you shouldn’t ignore.
Basically, there is gold out there.
- Animats 9y agoFacebook and Twitter both used to have RSS feeds, and stopped supporting RSS to force people to use their ad-heavy client interfaces. But that's not where the good stuff is. While "social" has dropped RSS, it's still doing great for real news.
- Jhsto 9y agoThere is still the option to make your own client or just buy something like Tweetbot which has no ads. But I hear you. I find Twitter unusable without 3rd party client, and I think that is affecting my experience in an indirect way as well. I think the fact most people see ML picked tweets has caused fewer people responding to what I share now versus 4 years back.
- __david__ 9y agoI wrote a simple Twitter API to RSS script and have been using that to read Twitter (via Feedly) for a few years now. The downside is that you don't get tweets at anything even approaching real time (Feedly seems to hit my RSS once every 6 hours), but I find it just perfect for low volume Twitter feeds (like bands announcing new releases or shows).
