The main barrier to entry isn't the lack of RSS, it's the fact that people don't read as much anymore. It's gotten to the point where if you submit anything text-based (as opposed to photos, video, podcasts, etc.) to a lot of subreddits the moderators flag it as spam.
- Karunamon 8y agoThat's more to do with Reddit being horrible and horribly moderated than any concrete problem with RSS, though.
- jarfil 8y agoThere are also subreddits with mostly text only submissions, but of course they are neither the meme or porn ones. Actually, there are even some subreddits which act like a RSS feed for some sites.
- digi_owl 8y agoI honestly prefer text, at least for technical stuff, over a video. The videos often end up spending 10 minutes when all i want is some quick specs or a bullet point list.
