I totally support anything that promotes RSS, but I have to wonder if I live in a bubble.
I don't use social media except a single, oft-neglected Mastodon account and get all my info from RSS. According to Newsblur I have ~500 feeds subscribed and ~5000 unread items (can't keep up) every week.
I don't doubt that RSS is getting less popular, but perhaps due to moving in circles where RSS is popular I really don't feel like it's dying.
- onli 5y agoI don't even think RSS is less popular in absolute numbers, there have been interesting articles about the RSS reader user population after Google Reader that suggest otherwise. But it can still be less popular relatively - when newcomers don't learn about it, which is how our internet access technology is set up right now. Apart from that I'm in a similar bubble as you, RSS never stopped being relevant to me.
