Push notifications are a replacement for RSS in the same way that cars are a replacement for public transit. This is a nonsense comparison. RSS is about presentation, not about real time interaction. And it would not be hard to have RSS feeds support push notifications, or other modernization. RSS is a universal and accessible way of presenting content, that is what is so inconvenient about it to publishers. The business model of most platforms today has RSS as competition. It completely undermines analytics, and their ability to fine-tune presentation, for the benefit of the end-user. So of course GM will say that their gas guzzlers make electric trains obsolete.
