Perhaps because the vast majority of people in the world have no interest in figuring out web hosting so they can read some news articles. That doesn't seem like a viable way to "bring back RSS".
- themodelplumber 8y agoExactly. And a lot of people still spend tons of time in what amounts to a standard desktop environment. I switched from cloud audio players to QMMP and have been looking to do the same with RSS.
- unicornporn 8y agoIt seems likely that the average user (that has no interest in figuring out web hosting) will still want to use software/service that works across devices (just like everything else works these days). For those users there's https://newsblur.com/ https://newsblur.com/ and similar services.
