To some extent I agree with the article... (apart from the finding the feed link in the page, as most RSS readers do this automatically) Where I do have issues is why a lot of news, blogs and article sites fail to actually use them, or even use them in a inconsistent manner. I've rolled my own feed reader ( https://dragonc.droppages.com/ https://dragonc.droppages.com/ - dedicated to Boardgames) because no reader has actually managed to lay things out as I wanted. But in making my own I found there is so much inconsistency in how it's implemented. Well yes, there is a standard but it seems that a lot of vendors don't even bother handling things because RSS just isn't accepted in general use. Some sites don't even bother putting the title of their site in their feed. Everybody rolls their own RSS feeds these days. yes, some Blog style sites have it automatically as a by-product of the platform. Yet other news sites just don't even bother assuming that you'll be reading their site anyway. And for those, you have to do some creative grep/sed/awk processing to get out the interesting articles for your feed reader.
