I don't think many sites removed RSS, but many new sites and services in the last ~5 years, never implemented or served it in the first place. The typical share icons now are FB, Instagram, and Twitter. Email is less common (although usually there's an email newsletter signup). For a while, there wouldn't be link to RSS on the page, but you could still find the .rss or .atom link in the HTML header. But a lot of times that's not there anymore either.
It makes me sad to have to settle for Liking a company's FB page, since it's up to FB whether or not I ever see it.
- jake_the_third 8y agoYoutube is like this. They don't advertise rss feeds but include them in the page source of youtube channels. In the one or two times I couldn't find the link in the source, I'd just copy the channel id of the channel and use the feed url from another channel. Works like a charm!
- allanbreyes 8y agoA surprising amount of services have this. You can even turn your Gmail inbox into an (authenticated) RSS feed[1]. Small warning: it uses an outdated XML feed namespace, but most readers should handle it fine. [1]: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/feed/atom/ https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/feed/atom/

Most blogs that I visit will highlight the RSS ("Subscribe to this page") icon in Firefox's icon bar. (The RSS icon is not present by default, but you can add it via the Customize dialog.) For Chrome, there might be extensions that implement similar RSS auto-detection functionality.
