The "Year of RSS" people have been sounding like the "Year of Linux Desktop" people for a while now. It's not coming back. It just isn't.

The "Year of RSS" people have been sounding like the "Year of Linux Desktop" people for a while now. It's not coming back. It just isn't.
- contravariant 4y agoI'm not sure it ever left. There are still RSS feeds around, though it would be better if their use was more widespread.
- ravenstine 4y agoIt only has a shot of coming back if enough people decide that Google searches are pointless. We might be getting there, actually. I'm not optimistic, but the idea that Google search results suck seems to be more mainstream in the last year outside of the HN crowd. Oh, I say this because Google and other search engines that derive from it are unlikely to yield results that are worth reading or subscribing to. If this were the Google of 2006, RSS might have been something they'd bake into their results. They'd never allow that today. It's all about serving ads on GPT generated bloogs now.
