You comment made me realize that if it becomes reality RSS might finally make a much needed comeback. You'll just poll various decentralized website to find updates for content you actually want. Aaaah, now you got my hopes up.
If you had told me in 2005 that'd I'd become nostalgic for Flash-ridden, PHP backed, IE6-compatibilized internet I wouldn't have believed you, and yet here we are.
- astura 6y agoIsn't rss how podcasts are normally distributed?
- AgentME 6y agoJudging by most podcast ads I've heard, the normal distribution methods are the Google Play store and iTunes.
- SahAssar 6y agoiTunes uses RSS for podcasts (or at least used to). It's invisible for most users though since they use the same platform for discovery and consumption.
- astura 6y agoIdk if anything has changed, but last I knew those are just RSS readers on the backend.
- kevincox 6y agoYes, but the user doesn't have control of what to subscribe to. They can't add a new RSS URL, it needs to be submitted from the creator to these services. I guess the nice thing is that for people who know RSS and have a "full featured" podcast client they can find that backend and subscribe however it isn't really the same as an RSS reader.
