RSS died because clients made easy to cut ads and hard to track engagement
RSS now are most often than not just links to the articles, cutting away all the original convenience of the format

- SanchoPanda 7y agoAgreed. RSS readily supports password protected feeds, as does my rss reader of choice, but even the paywalled content I subscribe to almost never supports that. I've asked why and the answer is it's just not tenable given how vital engagement and usage data is to the internal functioning of those organizations.
