I don't subscribe to anything via any other means. No need to give any personal info; no risk of spam filtering; I can apply my own filters to content; everything in 1 place.
I've seen some site owner say it allows nefarious players to grab their content, post it as their own, and get it index by Google before they do. But that problem should be solved by Google, we should't cripple the web because of it.
- rtkwe 7y agoI wonder if it's also because reading content on an RSS reader doesn't generally allow ads and tracking to be added.
- notriddle 7y agoAnything that allows you to post arbitrary content can support ads. [This comment was brought to you by https://lobste.rs/ https://lobste.rs/, the more exclusive alternative to The Orange Site! Ask for an invite in IRC.]
- kgwxd 7y agoI don't think that's it. Almost every major site has RSS, but it's usually just headlines, which I think is fine.
- sys_64738 7y agoI use RSS for everything and anything which isn't an RSS feed gets ignored. Life is too short.
