I still use it on a daily basis like many others.
But a revival isn't dependent on the technology or the type of apps that can consume RSS. It is the lack of outlets publishing on a regular basis. Social media's grip on attention has only grown stronger since RSS readers were more popular.
Blogs are mostly gone comparatively speaking to 10-15 years ago. Many authors do an email newsletter.
RSS is still around but it's a content supply problem and not a technology issue.
- PaulHoule 4y agoMany trade publications and media outlets have RSS feeds but not all of them.
- ghaff 4y agoRight. RSS still has some value today. But it had far more value in a world with a lot of individual blogs, many of which were only updated occasionally, and without other reliable discovery mechanisms for those blogs--other than going to a site every few weeks to see if there was something new.
- stanislavb 4y agoHave you considered an RSS reader that "reads" non-RSS publications? That's what I've tried to do with Lenns.io. You can subscribe to any blog/website, regardless of their RSS support. Then, if they don't expose an RSS feed - the website's titles are followed. That works with about 90% success. I'd be happy if you give it a go https://lenns.io https://lenns.io. Bonus - you can set priorities to feeds and the number of items per source to be listed on your dashboard (so not a single subscription can overrun it)
