RSS is not a business model. Selling things people actually want is a business model.
If you can't persuade someone to pay for your content (perhaps via willingly watching adverts), then it's not economically viable content. If you care enough to continue publishing it, great, but it's out of your own pocket.

- gregknicholson 9y agoNo, there's a difference between “economically viable” and “useful”. A labour of love may be very valuable to its author and its audience; it's just not a way to make money.
- gkya 9y agoCertainly. What I meant was the content that was meant to make money but not inherently economically viable, i.e. all that clickbait ad-ridden stuff out there.
- gregknicholson 9y agoAh, yeah. That is useless, by its own measure. Good riddance.
