Just because you have kept using RSS doesn't mean that the community has grown or even that it has stayed constant in size. Interest in RSS (or at least the best proxy I could find, Google searches for "RSS") has been steadily declining since ~2006[1].

Assuming RSS continues to decline, I imagine that more and more sites will stop supporting it.

- zenlot 7y agoGoogle Trends is not an answer. It's more likely that people will soon be fed up with enormous unrelated content and infinite scrolling, and will revert back to what's actually useful: specialized and managable content. And if you're searching for trends only, you'll be able to find that it's already happening. Community discovered that social networks is not an answer, the content is mostly garbage in there and nobody wants to 'scroll to infinity' anymore. Look at Lisp trends at different time periods in the past 60 or so years. And then at Clojure or functional programming in general now. Re: 'googler' - no it doesn't matter. Just because you're 'googler', doesn't mean that you're right. Lets revise this in 10 years. My bet is: if not RSS, then better RSS ;)
