When it became known that google was penalizing blogs for linking to others, link rolls / blogrolls started shrinking. Not too much later less and less blogs would appear in google results. I miss the time we found and shared random gems are greatness through blog rolls. Bring back the webrings! ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21328084 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21328084 ) Some time ago wordpress took the 'blogroll' post type out of core completely, and still today there are people asking for an embedded 'nofollow' tag adder in the core editor - and still it hasn't been done, though it's available in a plugin. Unforseen side effects perhaps, adds to silencing / hiding the web that would otherwise be more freely shared. Which is one of the things have led to RSS being less of a sought after thing. imho.
