As the creator of the infamous Popurls, I can assure you that RSS is anything but dead since I launched a successor at hvper.com a while ago and the site is alive and kicking. Obviously a lot more is coming from APIs these days but no major site has removed support for it.

What is the benefit of switching from Popurls to hvper? Honest question.

  Popurls was acquired many years ago and is now dead.

    That's a compelling reason. Thanks.

Had a quick look at hvper.com. Surprised that Digg is at the top of the page. Digg to me does not seem an important source of content anymore. Do sites pay you to be higher up the page?

  It's still popular for mainstream. No, the initial order is something I base on experience and use.
